Dear All,
I have a database where the ID is like this AT9898_DE. This specific
observation is a subsidiary located in the country DE owned by the
shareholder 9898 located in the country AT. I would like to create two
variables: one consisting the country of the sharehodler (AT in the
example) and another equal to the country of the subsidiary (DE).
I would be grateful for suggestions on how to generate from the ID
variable these two variables. In the end I would have my
observations/databse like this:
ID Share_country Subs_country
AT9898_DE AT DE
PL9769_CZ PL CZ
.... . ... ...
I would appreciate any help.
Best regards,
MJ
