I am simply trying to load data from stata and although it does load the
data, there are missing observations. Here is the program:
#include <oxstd.h>
#import <packages/dpd/dpd>
#import <database>
main()
{ decl dpd = new DPD(), time = timer(), x;
dpd.Load("c:/corruption/data/stata/corr_causesox.dta"); // load
data
dpd.SetYear("year"); //
specify years
dpd.SetIndex("id");
// specify countries
dpd.Info();
// print sum stat
delete dpd;
}
Here is the output:
Ox version 2.10 (Windows) (C) J.A. Doornik, 1994-99

If I ask STATA to summarize the data, her is what I get:

Clearly, these are not the same. Does somebody know what's going on?
Thanks in advance
