st: growth rate

["Lynn Lee" <lynn09v@gmail.com>]

I forgot to mention, I also wrote -xtset id year-, but Stata11 generated all
missing values for growth rate of GDP.

Subject: st: growth rate

Dear all,

I use -bysort id: gen growth=D.loggdp- to generate growth rate of GDP in
panel data. I also wrote -xtset year- before this command, but Stata11 told
me "time variable not set". I am assuming this command  is only for
time-series data. What about panel? What is the command used in panel to
generate growth rate? 

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Best Regards,
Lynn Lee
