Dear Statalist-Community,
The Data set is a panel with years, analysts, firms and forecasts etc from I/B/E/S. My sample period is 2001 to 2007. The goals are:
(1)How many years have analyst i worked in year t? --the first year analyst i gave forecast to year t
(2)How many years have analyst i followed firm j in year t?--the first year analyst i gave forecast for firm j to year t
Additional info: Analysts usually publish forecasts for multiple firms per year. The data set has already been reduced as there has only the last forecast of analyst i for firm j in year t been kept.
Thanks in advance.
Howard
