Hallo,
At the moment I am writing my thesis and I have to work with panel data and STATA. I am a beginner with respect to both and therefore I was wondering whether somebody could help me with the following two questions:
1. what does the between estimator actually calculate? I am only familiar with the fixed and random effects model in panel data.
2. For the estimation of the fixed effects model, I use xtreg depvar variablelist, fe. Does this command automatically take care of both the country and time effect that are present in the fixed effect model? And how can I test whether there is a country effect but no time effect, or the other way around?
Thank you very much in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Carine van der Kooij
