I have a full model, control and 3 indep Var1 Var2 Var3.
I have two subgroups, identified by a dummy D

When D = 1, the subgroup has only 54 companies (for D=0 I have 139 companies, for a total of 193 companies).

I run interactions:
Var1 x D
Var2 x D
Var3 x D
I introduce these interactions one per time; afterward, I include them all-together (i.e., a chow test).

How can I be sure if my analysis is OK, given that the second subsample has only 54 corporations?

How is a "correct regression" defined theoretically? Stata does have commands like -h sampsi-, but apparently you are looking for something else?

Betreff: st: Sample size

Dear Statalist

I have a sample of about 193 corporations; this sample is composed by:

- a subgroup of 139 corporations (subgroup A)
- a subgroup of 54 corporations (subgroup B), identified by a dummy SUBG

I run interactions (i.e., the dummy SUBG x indep var); I also run a chow test.

Do you think that 54 companies in the interacting subsample are not enough? How can I figure out the minimum sample size per each subgroup required to run correct regression (OLS)?

Thank you
