I wish to create a variable nd to produce the following dataset:

 

data want;
input year firm id type nd;
cards;
2008	28013	1003	1	1
2008	28013	1004	.	.
2008	28013	1005	1	0
2008	28013	1007	.	.
2008	28013	1009	0	0
2008	28013	1010	1	0
2008	28013	1013	1	0
2008	28013	1053	0	1
2008	28013	1074	1	1
2008	28013	1075	.	.
2009	28332	1003	0	1
2009	28332	1010	1	0
2009	28332	1053	.	.
2009	28332	1074	.	.
2009	28332	1075	.	.
2009	28400	1003	0	1
2009	28400	1085	0	0
2009	28400	1743	.	.
;
run;

where nd is created as follows.

 

For each nonmissing value of type, start with the id. Then, in “list1”, consider all of the id_adj that corresponds to the id. Out of these id_adj, only keep the ones that appear as an id in “have” for that particular year and firm. For this set of id_adjs, find their corresponding value of shock in “list2” for that particular year. If there is at least one shock = 1, then nd = 1. If every shock=0 then nd = 0. I will provide a few examples:

 

Example 1: Consider year 2008 and firm 28013. Start with id = 1003. In “list1”, 1003 corresponds to 1009, 1010, and 1085. However, only 1009 and 1010 appear as an id in “have” for the year/firm 2008/28013. Now, in “list2”, in the year 2008, 1009 has shock = 0 and 1010 has shock = 1. Thus, nd = 1.

 

Example 2: Consider year 2008 and firm 28013. Start with id = 1005. In “list1”, 1005 corresponds to 1004 and 3888. However, only 1004 appears as an id in “have” for the year/firm 2008/28013. Now, in “list2”, in the year 2008, 1004 has shock = 0. Thus, nd = 0.

 

Example 3: Consider year 2008 and firm 28013. Start with id 1013. In “list1”, 1013 corresponds to 1053 and 1074, both of which appears as an id in “have” for the year/firm 2008/28013. Now, in “list2”, in the year 2008, 1053 has shock = 0 and 1074 has shock = 0. Thus, nd = 0.

@TrueTears you will find your answer here.

it has the same data as you are providing while you may need to make a few small adjustments to fullfill you examples.

Thanks! Yes I had tried to adapt that and spent quite a while doing so but I couldn't quite figure it out because I have two datasets now (list1 and list2) rather than just one list.

 

Sorry, I am still learning SAS haha
