Thanks for your suggestion, Eric!
I just repeated employing the commands 'preserve' and 'restore' to
generate different sub-sample datasets, like follows:
capture program drop winsor_all
program define winsor_all
foreach var of varlist Invest_Ratio Employ_Level Sales_growth
delta_NWC_by_Assets Investments_by_Assets ln_Assets
Cash_flow_by_Assets Tax_Ratio RPT_Ratio CF {
winsor `var', gen(temp) p(0.01)
drop `var'
rename temp `var'
}
end
use dta\data_original_all, clear
preserve
winsor_all
foreach var of varlist credit_NERI decentr_NERI legal_NERI market_NERI
ln_CRMP FD_1 FD_2 pref_policy ln_RCC mkt1 mkt2 {
gen CF_`var' = `var'*D_PRI*CF
}
save dta\data_all, replace
restore
preserve
keep if D_PRI != 1
winsor_all
foreach var of varlist credit_NERI decentr_NERI legal_NERI market_NERI
ln_CRMP FD_1 FD_2 pref_policy ln_RCC mkt1 mkt2 {
gen CF_`var' = `var'*D_PC*CF
}
save dta\data_SOE, replace
restore
... ...
and many criterion to form different sub-samples
