Re: st:transition from unemployment

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

Your previous question was finding the time of the first transition
from employment. This question seems to centre on the state reached by
the first transition.

As already explained in my earlier posting, but translated here to
your variable names, etc.,

bysort id_res : egen firsttime = min(month / inlist(steoold, 1, 2, 3))

gives the time of the first transition from unemployment -- and so

by id_res : egen newstatus = total(steoold * (month == firsttime))

records what the status becomes.
