Speaking Stata: The last day of the month

Nicholas Cox

Stata Journal, 2019, vol. 19, issue 3, 719-728

Abstract: I discuss three related problems about getting the last day of the month in a new variable. Commentary ranges from the specifics of date and other functions to some generalities on developing code. Modular arithmetic belongs in every Stata user’s coding toolbox.
