My recollection (reference books aren't to hand, but if you have Wooldridge
2002, it's in there), in the case of linear regression and fixed/random
effects, the artificial regression approach would be to include the group
mean of the variable in question as an additional regressor and then test
the significance of the coefficient on it. Why wouldn't this work in the
logit case? What is the source of the collinearity?
Cheers,
Mark
