I have some data about bankrupt firms (see below for one hypothetical example). What I am trying to do is two things:
1. Notice that the bankruptcy year is 2003 for this firm, but the financial data only goes to 2000. I am trying to come up with a bankruptcy prediction model using survival analysis (hazard model). This bankrupt firm does not have data for 2001 and 2002 on compustat. I want to create two more lines of data (2001 and 2002) and carry information from 2000 to 2001 and 2002 (the year before bankruptcy). I have codes to carry information from 2000 over to 2001 and 2002, but I need codes to create gvkey 030057 and fyear 2001 and 2002 as well as to create empty fields of ROA, ETL, and LTA. I am thinking the best way to do this is using do loop, but I am not very familiar with it. (gvkey is company ID).
gvkey fyear bankruptcy_year ROA ETL LTA
030057 1996 2003 -0.42753 -0.00023 0.9514
030057 1997 2003 . . .
030057 1998 2003 -0.82566 -0.04087 0.952
030057 1999 2003 0.01165 0.11386 0.699
030057 2000 2003 0.01759 0.12694 0.7242
transform to below
gvkey fyear bankruptcy_year ROA ETL LTA
030057 1996 2003 -0.42753 -0.00023 0.9514
030057 1997 2003 -0.42753 -0.00023 0.9514

030057 2002 2003 0.01759 0.12694 0.7242
2. The following example is for a non-bankrupt firm that has probably merged with another firm in 2001 and therefore doesn’t have available data from 2001 onward. I want to delete lines for 2001 and 2001 (and I don’t have a field for merge year), but I want to preserve 1997 so I can carry information from 1996 to 1997. (see transformation).

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
