<div>Dear all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In econometric classen, we use gretl along with the Principles of Econometrics handbook. Now we have to write a paper and do research about a subject of own interest while using gretl. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The problem however is that I don&#39;t know how to recode variables in gretl. I have a bunch of dichotomious variables with categories 1 and 2 that I want to recode to 0 and 1, which is easier for interpretation, but I don&#39;t know how to do this.</div>




<div> </div>
<div>Can somebody help me out?</div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>Dear Laurent, suppose you have two series, &quot;variable1&quot;, with the values &quot;2&quot;, and &quot;variable2&quot;, with values &quot;1&quot;. I think you could try this:<br>


<br><b>&lt;script&gt;</b><br><b style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">series</b> variable1 = variable1 - 1<br><b style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">series</b> variable2 = variable2 - 1<br><b>&lt;/script&gt;</b><br><br>I hope this helps you :-)<br>
