IF condition in panel dataset

[jackbauer]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody could help me with a question on using an IF statement in a panel dataset. I have a dummy dependent variable that takes on a value of 1 when a financial crisis occurs, and 0 otherwise. I would like to exclude a country from the panel for two years following a crisis, or two years following a 1. Any suggestions on the best way to do this are much appreciated!

Code: Select all

if dum=1 or dum(-1)=1 or dum(-2)=1
