Hi Ada,
I am using a first difference model where
∆h= á94 min94+á96 min96+ á98 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 á'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
