Merging multiple time series data in STATA 17

[Nihat Mugurtay]

Dear friends,

I have many different STATA datasets to merge. Normally, I use:

merge 1:1 ccode year, using "data1.dta"

However, I am looking for a way to merge more than two datasets like:

merge 1:1 ccode year, using "data1.dta",, "data2.dta", "data3.dta"

Is there a way to do this?

Best,

Not in that way. A merge is of two datasets. It is tedious but necessary to do it one by one. You need to check what went right and what went wrong each time.
