  • How to identify closing triads in a panel data set?

    Dear Stata experts,

    I am currently working on a project using panel data with 20.286 observations.

    It is a dyadic panel in which a good (ship) has been chartered from an owner (identified with an "AOS owner" number) to a charterer (identified with an "AOS charterer" number). The panel is based on a dyadic identified (combining both AOS ids) and years from 2000-2017.

    The dependent variable is a dummy "tie" capturing an existign transaction (deal) between the two (I filled in the panel forward based on existing deals).

    The most important independent variable pertains to geography and is a dummy taking the value of one if both :the charterer and owner share the same geographic location *variable "same continent"). This is how the panel data looks like:

    Now my question: I am interested in having a measure of closing triads (closing structural holes). It occurs if for example: A and B have a tie (relation) and B and C have a tie (relation) in t=0. If then a tie is further created between A and C in t=1, I would consider the triad closed (Simmelian).
    What I would like to have is a dummy for either owner or charterer in my data that would indicate that he/she was the basis for a closing triad (time variant measure).
    I realize such measure is usually used in network analysis, which requires a generation of a matrix based on the two identifiers, year by year, but I hope that maybe this can also be solved with some more complex coding in a panel data structure too.

    Thank you so much for your help.
    Best regards
