st: mediation in constant coefficients panel regression

[Sarita Koen <sarita_verslagen@yahoo.com>]

Dear statalist users,

Currently I am testing for mediation in a constant coefficients panel regression.

I will run three panel regressions with xtgls following Baron and Kenny
(1986):
(1). Regress the two mediators on the independent var 
(2). Regress the outcome var on the independent var 
(3). Regress the outcome var on both the independent var and two mediators

and compare the coefficients. 

A previous thread discusses measuring the strength and significance of the mediation effect through an adjusted Sobel test with panel data.

Are there any further recommendations or additional literature I can take into consideration? Thank you.


met vriendelijke groet/best regards,
