Hi all,

I have a dataset with data on the Gini index for Brazilian municipalities in 2010. I need to merge to this dataset an id variable called "ibge_mun_code", which is located in the dataset "finbra_codsiafi_2008.dta".


merge 1:1 ibge using finbra_codsiafi_2008.dta, keepusing(ibge_mun_code)


I have been unable to do the merge. Instead, I get the following error message: file finbra_codsiafi_2008.dta not found

I don't know the reason for this error. Both datasets are stored in the same folder. In addition, the filename "finbra_codsiafi_2008.dta" is correct. I re-checked several times.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thank you.
