Ok, cheers. As you kept talking about "x", I assumed that this was an
indepent variable in your analysis (although there is nothing to prevent you
from calling your dependent "x", other than the anger of your fellow human
beings...), and that the lag thing had nothing to do with it...

Betreff: st: Re: AW: drop command & missing values
Dear Martin,
thank you very much. I eventually understood the problem. It was depending
on the lagged dependent variable. If I do
1) drop if x>123
rather than
2) drop if x>123 & x!=.
I am eliminating observations that Stata may use to calculate Y-1. So, I
avoid the problem by using 2).
Best regards
Francesco
