Betreff: st: calculation within a panel
Dear Stata Users. I have a stata file with several variables for 500
schools in years 2000-2009.
One of this variables is the monetary allocation each school received
for school lunch program.
What I need is to estimate the growth rate of the allocation received
each period, but I have no
idea how to do that.
I'm using Stata 10 and windows XP.
Example:
school_code year sch_lunch growth
1 2000 1200 na
2 2000 300 na
1 2001 1300 0.083
2 2001 500 0.666, etc.
thanks for your help
