Re: st: RE: Problem with generating time dummies in panel data
Hi Ada,
I am using a first difference model where
∆h= �94 min94+�96 min96+ �98 min98 + sex dummies+ age dummies
h= is the number of agreed working hours
hp=the number of desired working hours
minder= the difference between the number of desired working hours and
number of agreed working hours.
My concern is to look for the differences in the �'s during the time period.
∆h is descirbed as Dh=h- h(_n-1) if y==y(_n-1)+2
As I mentioned earlier I am working with micro panel data and I appended the
values in one dataset to run a regression. If I can manage to create these
min dummies I will run an OLS and look for the effects at first place. But
until, now I cannot create these dummies.
I think I inform you suffiecient about my struggle with generating the
dummies.
Best Wishes,
d

I think you need to clarify what kind of model you're trying to
estimate, the exact command and option you use to estimate the model,
plus some information on what h and hp are.
You shouldn't have get a "no observation" warning as the bits of data
you've posted clearly indicated that your "minder" variable carries
non missing values, that is unless you have severe missing values
problem in the other variables you're also using in your regression
model.

Thanks Ada,
But tab year if ~mi(minder), gen(minder)
makes my minder values 0 for all the id (resp96)numbers. I am wondering if
I
can generate these dummies for each with a command which captures the id
number and the year as well. Dropping missing values wont help as well
than
I get no observation warning. I am quite new with Stata and I think what I
am looking forward to create has to capture the id numbers and years both
otherwise it is useless. Until now the advices I get generate things which
are almost the same and were dropped when they put them in a regression.
Moreover, when I try to implement the advices of the user (I thank them
for
their attendance my problem) generates 0 for the other years although
there
is no observations are present. This is the problem I am trying to solve
for
days.
