Dear Statalisters,
Based on my previous e.mails, I would like to thank you for the help.
I let you know that finally, I have the variable 'year' years from
1990-2005 in a sequence.
Unfortunately, another problem which still remains has to do with the
estimation of diversification variable.
The diversification variable should be created under the following logic:
For observation in year 1990 the value of diversification should be
the sum of a, b, and c below:
a) take the total number of subsidiary companies which were
incorporated in 1990 or earlier whose 1st digit of sic_sub is
different than the 1st digit of sic_mother and multiply them by 3;
divide this number by the total number of companies which where
incorporated in 1990 or earlier (in the example, the total number of
companies existing in 1990 is 4)
b) take the total number of subsidiary companies which were
incorporated in 1990 or earlier for which only the 1st digit of their
sic_sub is the same as the 1st digit of sic_mother and multiply them
by 2; divide this number by the total number of companies which where
incorporated in 1990 or earlier
c) take the total number of subsidiary companies which were
incorporated in 1990 or earlier, whose 1st and 2nd digits of sic_sub
are the same as the 1st and 2nd digits of sic_mother but they differ
in the 3rd digit, and multiply them by 1, divide this number by the
total number of companies which where incorporated in 1990 or earlier
As you see below, my results look like:
+-------------------------+
| id_mot~r year diver |
|-------------------------|
1. | X 1990 3 |
2. | X 1991 3 |
3. | X 1992 3 |
4. | X 1993 3 |
5. | X 1994 3 |
|-------------------------|
6. | X 1995 3 |
7. | X 1996 3 |
8. | X 1997 3 |
9. | X 1998 3 |
10. | X 1999 3 |
. .....
|-------------------------|
11.. | X 2005 3 |
+-------------------------+
The diversification variable has always the value '3'. This is not true, indeed.
I suppose that there is an error in this part of the command which you
suggested me:
**********************
scalar a=scalar(digit)*3/scalar(total)
count if (year_inc_sub<=`y') & (firstsic_moth==firstsic_sub)
scalar digit2=r(N)
scalar b=scalar(digit2)*2/scalar(total)
count if (year_inc_sub<=`y') & (twosic_moth==twosic_sub)
scalar digit3=r(N)
scalar c=scalar(digit3)*1/scalar(total)
***********************
Especially, I feel that something is wrong in the part "scalar
c=scalar(digit3)*1/scalar(total)" but I cant correct it.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much ,again, for consideration!
