Dear participants,
I have four categorical variables: education (primary=0, secondary=1, tertiary =2 and higher=3), place of residence (urban=1, rural=2), wealth (poorest=1, poorer=2, middle=3, richer=4, richest=5), empowerment (low=1, medium=2, high=3). I want to create a new variable by multiplying these four variables: education*residence*wealth*empowerment, and gives a variable with 120 categories. How do I label these categories automatically in Stata? Or how do I know that for example which category represents no education and poorest and low empowerment and urban area? I want to know the name of combinations of each category of the variable so that I would be able to analyze my analysis by the categories.
Your help is much appreciated
