That sure is correct. Please see my reply to Pengpeng on that matter. So
far, I've only focused on getting the rep_ins indicator to work at all, but
multiple windows for one firm is an additional concern. Ideally, a code
would indicate for each rep = 0 case within which of these windows the
observation's 'trandate' lies...
Here's the last version of my code (without inclusion of your earlier
suggestion and the multiple window problem):
forvalues x = 1/`max' {
summarize obs, meanonly
local N = r(N)
forvalues i = 1/`N' {
if rep == 1 {
local r = `i'
local s = `i'+1
forvalues z = `s'/`N' {
if trandate >= wind_start[`r'] & trandate <=
wind_end[`r'] {
replace rep_ins = 1 in [`z']
}
else {
replace rep_ins = 0 in [`z']
}
}
}
}
}
replace rep_ins = . if rep == 1

The other thing I wasn't clear on your rules for combining two or more
windows for the same firm. The code example I gave just uses the overall
range of the windows, but that would include any gaps between windows. Thus
if a < b < c < d and there are windows [a,b] and [c,d] then the combined
window [a, d] includes a gap [b, c].
