  Based on the fact that projective monomial curves in the plane are complete
intersections, we give an effective inductive method for creating infinitely
many monomial curves in the projective $n$-space that are set theoretic
complete intersections. We illustrate our main result by giving different
infinite families of examples. Our proof is constructive and provides one
binomial and $(n-2)$ polynomial explicit equations for the hypersurfaces
cutting out the curve in question.
