This column reviews some basic Stata techniques helpful for such tasks, including the use of subscripts, summarize, by:, sum(), cond(), and egen. Several techniques exploit the fact that logical expressions yield 1 when true and 0 when false. Dividing by zero to yield missings is revealed as a surprisingly valuable device.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/180084}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.180084}, }
