| Subject | st: combining two variables of different type |
| Date | Thu, 20 Jan 2011 09:00:00 -0800 |
How can I combine two variables of different type. For example, I am using a panel data set where countries are the units of analysis and I want a variable CountryYear (AFG1985). I have the countries and years each as variables but when I use "gen countryyear=country+year" I get the error "type mismatch".
