Re: st: how to show counts of zero for entries that don't exist?

["Andre pierre" <hcpats@hotmail.fr>]

Dear Seb,

If I want to do panel data estimations, I guess that the dataset should 
report observations for all the years, otherwise it would be treated as an 
unbalanced panel (I guess). My data set is not an unbalanced panel; but the 
observations for which the count variable is zero are not reported.
I need it also to do dexscriptive graphs, to report the number of "zero" 
counts by year.

Regards,
Andr�
