st: RE: error using xtserial

["joserra coco" <pereastroika@hotmail.com>]

Thanks for your message Nick. I did not use any "if" condition, and the 
variables I use don't have any missing values. There are two issues with my 
dataset, however: one is that it is an unbalanced panel. And also, the 
observations that I use are 4-year-periods averages, so the variable that 
defines the years in the tsset statement is not made of consecutive values.

Thanks again,
Joserra.





This could also arise if an -if- condition
excludes all the data, and/or there are
problems with missing values.

I doubt that's a complete list.
