Hi to all,
I would like to ask a question that I had before but I
couldnt solve. The problem I have is the following: Im
aplliying shif-share method in a regression of data
panel. My dependent variable is the growth in
employment and I have as independent variables dummies
for industries, dummies for years and for regions. The
problem arises because I loose one region, one year
and one industrie because of the dummies use. I dont
want to loose this since they are useful for the
analysis I'm doing. Does anyone have an idea how to do
this?.
I guess one alternative is to use restricted weighted
least squares but unfortunatelly I dont know how to do
it and Im not so sure if its totally useful.
Thanks
Gustavo
