Dear Anders,
In my sample there are 12 countries as an alternative set and total 2076
observations(173 firms*12 countries).Frankly I am reluctant to remove any one of
them from the alternative set.Could I set a large memory for Stata to tackle
this problem.Currently the memory allocated to Stata is 100mb and the dataset is
far smaller than 100mb.
Thanks for advices.
Kevin
