Create variable using expansion factor

[Wildo Gonzalez]

Dear all, I would like to ask you a question. In a database I have identified a group of people, who should receive a transfer, but I have a problem, I have no idea how to do this, considering the expansion factors. That is, if I give the subsidy to the 10,000 people identified in the sample, then the expansion factor makes the amount increase. Do you know of any way to correct this so that the number of people is the same?

Best regards and thanks in advance.

Some questions:
1. What do you mean by a "transfer"?
2. What do you mean by an "expansion factor"?
3. "Amount" of what?
4. What's the structure of your dataset, as illustrated via -dataex- (See StataList FAQ.)
