Dear all,
I have a dataset comprising thousands of individuals. For each individual I have, among others, region of residence (there are 9 overall) and marital status.
I am required to create a dummy for each region and each should be called like the corresponding region. I have tried the following code:

dummies region
rename region1 Pacific
rename region2 East_South
rename region3 West_South
rename region4 Mountain
rename region5 New_England
rename region6 South_Atlantic
rename region7 West_North
rename region8 East_North
rename region9 Middle_Atlantic

However, I was looking for a more compact way to do this, given that I must create a new variable including all the regional dummies as well as marital status.
Thank you in advance,
Best regards,
AC
