COLLAPSE2: Stata module to extend the collapse command

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: collapse2 is an extension of Stata's built-in collapse command, which converts the data in memory into a dataset of means, sums, medians, etc. It differs only in offering four additional "aggregation" operators: first, last, firstnm, and lastnm. These are useful, for example, if you want to create a cross-section data set from annual data, with initial population as a variable. You must first tsset your data to use these additional operators.
