Hello Stata users,
Im doing using panel data to test the relationship between deforestation (dependent variable) and certain drivers of deforestation. I have the data for 4 provinces of a given country, and i've got observations for 1984, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1995 and 1999. I've also got all the indpendent variable for 1994 and 1996, so i was trying to interpolate the missing vales.
I used " ipolate mangrovecov year, gen(mangrovecov1)", but i get a new set of observations for the the years, when im only looking to get the interpolations for 1994/1996 for each of the 4 provinces.
Help much aprecciated.
Best Regards,
Mike
