Stata Hint: Collapsing and Merging Large Data Sets

I say I write this blog for my graduate students (current, future, and past), but really, I write it for myself. It's a nice place for me to put things down I want to remember but have a feeling I will forget. Today's post is for my future self who is annoyed because dofiles are taking too long to run. 

Dear Future Delia, 
Why not try ftools and gtools? You can read more about ftools from the slides Sergio Correira presented at the 2017 Stata Conference. Yes, the same Sergio Correira that wrote reghdfe! Mauricio Cáceres Bravo wrote gtools and you can read more about that here

Sincerely, 
Current Delia
