A common way of analyzing panel data with large T is to use five-year or 10-year averages of the data in order to reduce business-cycle effects and measurement error. paverage (pronounced p-average) calculates p-year averages of the variables in a panel dataset, where p=2,3,4,5,...,10. The time period must a multiple of p. After running paverage the labels of the original variables remain attached to the p-year average variables.
