The inno.dta dataset cannot be opened because it contains too many variables / cases. Is there a smaller version of the dataset?

There is no smaller version of the inno-dataset. However, the problem can be solved by using an additional Stata syntax to import the dataset. Instead of opening the entire dataset (by double-clicking or a simple “use” command), you can execute the following extended “use” command in Stata to import the dataset:

use pid hid syear <your variables> using "<datapath>/inno.dta"

This allows you to load only the identifiers “pid hid syear” and other variables defined there, for example. If there are too many observations in the data set, you can also import the data of specific years:

use pid hid syear <your variables> if syear==2020 using "<datapath>/inno.dta"
