I have two dummy variables ger1 and ger2.
Essentially what I need to do is to create another binary variable (named here dummy) in which, for every "group" of observations in which ger1=1, if it has at least one observation where ger2=1, then dummy=1 for the entire group.
Sorry if this is confusing, I include a data sample hoping it helps clarify this a bit.
("dummy" in this case, was done by hand, it is what I want it to look like - and what I need your help with to learn how to code it).
Code:
* Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex clear input float(ger1 ger2 dummy) 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 end
If anyone has any insight on how to do this, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ana
