| Subject | st: coding for weighting factor variable -weight- |
| Date | Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:36:52 +0100 |
Dear statlisters, I create a variable "Germany" but when the whole country is taken as the unit of analysis (rather than eastern and western states), a design weight is necessary: weighting factor for Western Germany: 1,23; weighting factor for Eastern Germany: 0,55. As the help weight command did not solve my problem, I would be v. thankful if someone could tell me how to code that in STATA.
