Re: st: RE: How to filter data

[Thomas Gericks <ThomasGericks@web.de>]

Hi, thanks for helping me with the first question.

More explanation on the 2nd one:

I am looking at accounting data of several companies over several years. Thus, paneldata.
No i looked at each company and said that i want to mark every quarter, when assets grew by more than 50%.

so i said: gen dropma = 1 if 1.5*atq[_n-1] < atq[_n] & atq[_n]<10*atq[_n-1]

Now i have a 1 for these years in the companys. Now i want to drop all the observations of these companies. So, now i need the syntax to (1) mark every company if once in their time series they grew that much und then secon delete the complete company.

How do i do that?

Thanks a lot! BR Thomas

Hi Thomas,
You can use the table command the syntax is as below
table year, c(sum sales) 
where sales is represent of several companies
Please clarify the the other question.
thanks

Hello,

I am analyzing a paneldataset.
I have two questions:

1. How do i sum up all the sales of several companies per year or quarter. Do i have do to that in a new dataset?

2. I gernerated a new variable that marks when a company grew in the last quarter more than 50% with a 1. now i want to delete all observations of that company in the dataset in order to limit biases of M&As. I have different number ob observations per company( quartely reporting)


As I have no programming background I'm overstrained with the syntax.

Thank you very much for your help

Best regards,
Thomas Gericks
