How can I create a composite variable in Stata with all products for a particular code by year?
回答1:
This would probably be my favorite approach:
bysort code year: generate _j = _n
reshape wide product, i(code year) j(_j)
ds product*
egen products = concat(`r(varlist)'), punct(" ")
The above code snippet will produce a string variable products as desired:
list code year products

Type help reshape and help egen from Stata's command prompt for more information.
(Hats off to @NickCox for recently reminding me how useful egen's concat()
function can be!)
EDIT:
The simplest way to add a comma to separate the different products is to alter the code as follows:
replace product = product + ", " bysort code year: generate _j = _n reshape wide product, i(code year) j(_j) ds product* egen products = concat(`r(varlist)') replace products = substr(products, 1, length(products) - 1)
The idea here is to add a comma at the end of each product and then after reshape
eliminate the unwanted comma using a combination of the substr() and length()
functions:
list code year products
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| code year products |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
