I am trying to calculate total years of schooling based on year highest level of education was attained and the year of birth. From that I would like to calculate total years of schooling as follows:
Year highest level of education was attained- year of birth- 4
say variable x= Year highest level of education was attained
y=year of birth
I'm trying the stata command
"generate yrschooling= x-y-4"
But that doesn't work as I'm getting numbers from -59 to 61. Any ideas what the correct command should be?
Thanks.
