Pick one period of panel

[YK_Econ]

Hi!

I have a panel over the period of 1990-2010. I want to plot the average gdp growth and the log(gdp)1990 . So i want to make a beta-convergence analysis.

My question is, how can i plot this?
My approach would have been trying to obtain a series with the logs of 1990 for each country and then simply plot them.

Would this work?
If yes, how do I obtain a series with just the logs of 1990?

Best

You'll have to more carefully define what it is that you're trying to do.

What does "average gdp growth" mean?

Over what time period do you want this graph to show data?
