Sure:
corr y x
but I guess you have something else in mind--perhaps you could
clarify. Maybe you want to allow mean and SD to change over time, and
standardize by time e.g.
webuse psidextract, clear
corr lwage ed
ren lwage y
ren ed x
egen my=mean(y), by(t)
egen sy=sd(y), by(t)
egen mx=mean(x), by(t)
egen sx=sd(x), by(t)
g zy=(y-my)/sy
g zx=(x-mx)/sx
reg zy zx, nocons
corr zy zx
