I do not think the first dummy (gvkeylarge) is needed here. One way to
create the disired dummy (largefirmdummy) might be
levelsof gvkey if (fyear==2008) & (at > 100) ,loc(keys) s(,)
g byte largefirmdummy = inlist(gvkey, `keys')
The -inlist()- function will not work if there are more than about 240
large firms, though. If this is the case, you may have to create a
loop over the elements of the local. Alternatively, you may also think
about using -reshape- your data wide.
Best
Daniel
