Dear all,
I am using Stata 16, on mac. I want to create a region variable based on my dummy variables west, ne, midwest, and south, but I am not sure how to do so. south is my reference category. I included the commands I used to construct my dummy variables along with a snapshot of my dataset.
generate west = 0
replace west =1 if 2.state | 3.state | 5.state | 6.state | 12.state | 13.state | 27.state | 29.state | 32.state | 38.state | 45.state | 48.state | 51.state
generate ne = 0
replace ne =1 if 7.state | 20.state | 30.state | 22.state | 31.state | 33.state | 39.state | 40.state | 46.state
generate midwest = 0
replace midwest =1 if 14.state | 15.state | 16.state | 17.state | 23.state | 24.state | 26.state | 28.state | 35.state | 36.state | 42.state | 50.state
generate south = 0
replace south =1 if 1.state | 4.state | 8.state | 10.state | 11.state | 18.state | 19.state |21.state | 25.state | 37.state | 34.state | 41.state | 43.state | 44.state | 47.state | 49.state | 48.state | 9.state

Thank you in advance for your help
