  • Ploting Panel data averages with labels

    Dear Forum Members,
    I want to plot the country averages of growth of GDP per capita and population for a panel data with the labels as well. I used the collapse (mean) to get the averages, but the country variable vanishes, making it difficult to use the mlabel option.
    Code:
    * Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex
    clear
    input str3 country int year float(pairid Grgdppc Grpop)
    "AFG" 2016 1  .000518322  .02331066

    end
    After using collapse (mean)
    Code:
     collapse (mean) Grgdppc Grpop , by(year )
    I get this output,(the country variable vanishes)
    Code:
    * Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex
    clear
    input int year float(Grgdppc Grpop)
    2016 .0006835196   .0177838
    2017  .009664006 .016840829
    end
    But i want a plot like this (But with averages representing each country.):
    Code:
    graph twoway (lfitci Grgdppc Grpop) ///
                 (scatter Grgdppc Grpop, mlabel(country) )
    Kindly help.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Best
    David
