Dear Statlist readers,
I now have an issue trying to reshape my dataset.
Currently, a simplified version of my dataset looks as follows :
var1 var2 var3 var4
Code 111111 111112 111113
01/01/2000 10 11 22
01/02/2000 20 14 25
..
..
01/12/2008 23 17 28
Specifically, my columns name are var1, var2, var3....
In the first line of the dataset, except for the first column, there
is the firms identifier.
As you can see from my example, the next lines provide the value of my
variable of interest for all the firms in the sample at a given point
in time.
I need to work with a dataset that would be organized as follows :
Firm ID Date Variable of Interest
111111 01/01/2000 10
..
..
111111 01/12/2008 23
111112 01/01/2000 11
..
..
111112 01/12/2008 17
111113 01/01/2000 22
..
..
111113 01/12/2008 28
I have been through several stata tutorials online. However, I do not
think that my case fit with the basic wide / long reshape examples
that I've found.
I would appreciate any suggestion to find a solution.
Best,
Thomas
