** 1. drop all the observations in each of the panels if there was a chow or closure**
bys oshpd_fac_no: egen any_chow = max(chow)
bys oshpd_fac_no: egen any_closure = max(closure)
drop if 1==any_closure | 1==any_chow

**2.  drop if I have all nursing homes that opened after 2003 **
bys oshpd_fac_no: egen firstyear = min(year)
drop if year>2003 & !mi(year)
