Remove Duplicate Rows in Pandas DataFrame Using GroupBy or Duplicated Method
Here is the code in Python that uses pandas library to solve this problem: import pandas as pd # Assuming df is your DataFrame df = pd.read_csv('your_data.csv') # replace with your data source # Group by year and gvkey, then select the first row for each group df_final = df.groupby(['year', 'gvkey']).head(1).reset_index() # Print the final DataFrame print(df_final) This code works as follows: It loads the DataFrame df into a new DataFrame df_final.
