Welcome to Statalist! The -search- command is a very useful tool for
finding Stata resources.
"search interval censoring, all" turns up -intcens-. I also agree with
Robert about trying to simplify your data. If you can locate your
events to single years or even decades, then you could create grouped
follow-up intervals (they need not be of equal length) use the grouped
data methods of and use -pgmhaz8- and -hshaz-, programs contributed by
Stephen Jenkins, and downloadable with -ssc- .
I don't see that you can use methods for left-truncation, because you
lack the information on the start date for companies that were in
existence prior to 1900. At time "zero" your companies will be a
mixture of brand-new and established companies. I think this risks
serious bias. I strongly suggest that you analyze only companies whose
start dates you know.
As Robert said, disentangling age, period, and cohort effects can be
challenging. Take a look at the contributed -apc- command, also
available from -ssc-
