Hi Statalist members,
I am working with survey balanced panel data covering 32 waves. I am analyzing the effect of marital status on life satisfaction. Currently I am trying to plot the mean life satisfaction for all individuals for the years surrounding the marriage. I am not sure if this is regression discontinuity or can be graphed with 'twoway'. I assume I need to transform the years into some kind of categorical variable which takes positive values (after marriage) and negative values (before marriage) - therefore creating a threshold (example is the screenshot below).
So far I have calculated the mean of life satisfaction and transformed the marital status variable into dummy - married and single. Also I want to observe that effect controlling for the other variables. Any ideas on how to proceed ?
bysort pid (age): egen SM = mean(lifesatis)
bysort age: egen SM_ = mean(SM)
label var SM_ "Satisfaction with life"
Kind regards,
Gabriela
