Hi!!!, I am trying to use "lambda" following stata code from CEQ paper. They use lambda to generate a variable ( apparently), but when I run code, stata generate error saying that 1_m is invalid name, the code is below;
Maybe you can help to understand this, because the syntax from command is just for tabulate. Thanks, regards
| foreach y in m d { sum y`y'_BC if i==1 [w=factor] scalar total`y'_BC= r(sum) forval i=1/10 { //loop for deciles sum y`y'_BC if ym_BC_decile==`i' & i==1 [w=factor] scalar total`y'_BC_`i'= r(sum) lambda `i'_`y' = total`y'_BC_`i'/total`y'_BC } } |
