"...as the two of you have explained."
The credit for this statement should go to Peter and Nick, though, who made
almost identical comments to this effect. My code did not specifically
address this point.

Betreff: Re: st: RE: RE: AW: correlate lag variables
Dear Nick and Martin,
thank you for the usefull comments! Indeed I have a panel data, so the
more lags I include in the correlate command, less data is being used,
as the two of you have explained.
Best regards,
Julia

have 265. Setting es=e(sample) after the lag 2 analysis and rerunning the
correlation for lag 1 if es==1 might shed some light on the problem.
