The production process of the Global MPI

abels and value labels in a more systematically. By now, I have refined my earlier approach and released a new suite of commands, elabel, that facilitate these everyday data management tasks. In contrast to most existing community-contributed commands to manipulate labels, elabel does not focus on solving specific problems. Combined with any of Stata's label commands, it addresses any problem related to variable and value labels. elabel accepts wildcard characters in value label names, allows referring to value labels via variable names, selects subsets of integer to text mappings, and applies any of Stata's functions to define new or modify existing labels. I demonstrate these features drawing on various examples and show how to write new ado-files to further extend the elabel commands.
