Making a time-band in dummy variables

[riefky hasan]

Hi, I am relatively new to stata. I have a question on how to make a time-band for dummy variable. So, i have a monthly data on currency crisis and it's a dummy variable (it's 1 if crisis occurs on that month). However, I want to set the value as 1 from t-6 until t+6 of the crisis month to get rid of the ambiguity of start and end period of the crisis. Can someone help me with this issue?

Many thanks in advance!

Present a data example using dataex. For example, you can run the following and copy and paste the resulting output.

ssc install dataex
