Below is my data and variable name "salary21" means salary of PID 21, and each values indicate individuals' income in each year(1980~1999).
I am trying to generate/replace a new variable by comparing public median income with each person's income in each year.
Below code is what I've tried and what it should be look like.
It perfectly worked but what I am struggling with is to make every PID's income variable in the same way.
In my real data there are thousands of PID (individuals), thus it is impossible to write down below code thousands of times...
*The code I've tried*
Code:
generate salary_21= "Unemp" if salary21 == 0 replace salary_21= "(1)" if salary21 < medi_inc*2/3 & salary21 ~= 0 replace salary_21= "(2)" if salary21 >= medi_inc*2/3 & salary21 < income replace salary_21= "(3)" if salary21 > medi_inc
Code:
