Dear Friends,

I have a data which has a firm identier and a dummy variable SOX. Although most of the firms in my sample have both 0 and 1 values for SOX, some firms have only 0 or 1 value for SOX. I want to delete firms that do not have both 0 or 1 for SOX.

Firm       SOX

A             0

A             1

B             0

B             1

C             0

D             0

D             1

E             1

Expected Output

Firm       SOX

A             0

A             1

B             0

B             1

D             0

D             1

I would appreciate if someone would provide me with the code.

Thank you.
