Re: st: RE: variance of R2
Thank you very much for your attention. I really appreciate it. As Stas points
out, I have two different samples with the same model. My first sample
consists of firms observed for a number of years, the second is made of firms
(some firms are the same as before, some are different) observed for a
subsequent period...thus do you suggest to use an F- test?How could I compute
it in STATA?
many thanks again
