Hello Maarten,
thanks for the tip. I tabed the dummy with the select but it does not
seem that the dummy for which is not standard error etc is given
predicts the selection any better than the other dummies for which the
results are just fine. Also, the dummies coefficient comparably large.
Does somebody has another idea?
Thank you very much again,
Georg Wernicke
