Subject   st: use dummy variable for nonmissing data
Date   Fri, 14 Jan 2011 16:33:17 +0100

Hello,
 
I have survey data for individuals from several countries and years like this

id country year var1 var2
1 A 1900 1 2
...
200 B 1900 3 .
...


 
I have created country_year dummies using
xi i.country*i.year, noomit
 
Now I want to tell Stata to temporarily drop (or not use) the variable _IcouXyea_country_year if that country does not have observations for that year (i.e. the variable is missing for all individuals from that country and particular year). Can anyone help?
 
Thanks
Rainald
