NOTE: This is given in the output above.
Table 7.5, page 145.
NOTE: We need to reshape the data from wide to long to get the first panel of the table. We use the Stata command reshape to do this. We use the @ symbol before the variables that we wish to reshape as a “wild card” to collect all of the age variables, for example, regardless of the prefix (in this case, “f” and “m”). Before we reshape the data, however, we need to drop the variables for the children so that the will not be picked up by the “wild card”. We use the string option because the “j” variable, gender, is a string variable.
drop oc* mc* yc*
reshape long @age @height @fev1, i(id) j(momdad) string
generate gender = 2 if momdad == "m"
replace gender = 1 if momdad == "f"

To obtain the second and third panels of the table, we need sort the data by gender and then use the by prefix to do the descriptive statistics and regressions for each gender.
