Dear Austin.
You are right I tried to demean the data myself, since when I used
xtdata....., fe i(ind) it didn't create deviations from time average
for each individual (ind). But, then I asked myself if it does not in
fact do that, but just prepare the data for such a transoformation.
Any help regarding this is welcome.
Secondly i applied a bootstrap procedure like the following (after
time demeaning the data)
prog me
qreg dmwage dmindchar dmspec dmd1995-dmd2004 dmsectors dmarea, q(0.1)
end
bs, cluster(ind): me
I before tsset the data
tsset ind year
and it recognize that it is a panel. Then when I apply the program he
wrote repeated time values within panel. hence, my question about
clustering.
Moreover generally, in fixed effects estimates I also clustered the
observations for area (to deal with heteroskedasticity questions), and
I do not know if I can do it now.
Last, I tried the same with clustering() (see below) and it stopped at
the third bootstrap writing something like:
..x
prog me
qreg dmwage dmindchar dmspec dmd1995-dmd2004 dmsectors dmarea, q(0.1)
end
bs, cluster(): me
Thanks again for any help
