This is an example of my data:
In my data, each observation represents an investment in a company (COM_NAME) by a particular investor (VC_NAME). There are different types of investors (VC_TYPE) >> this is a categorical variable. Note that a particular company (COM_NAME) could have multiple observations with the same ROUND_DATE , which represents the investment date because investors usually tend to syndicate when investing in a company in my data.
I need to create a dummy variable (CVC) that =1 if a particular company received an investment at any time from ‘type 3 investor’. For example, VC_TYPE ==3,
However, I need the dummy variable (CVC) to be equal to 1 in all the observations of the same company (COM_NAME)
I tried to use:
But the code didn’t work as I want, as it will only let CVC =1 in one observation that has the VC_TYPE ==3, but not in all other observations with the same COM_NAME
Could you please help me with a better code?
Many thanks
