I did not mean that the province changed, but that the firms
changed with respect to to which province they belong. If that
is not the case than the time constant covariates should drop
out, and the fact that they don't indicates an error somewhere
in your data. Balanced or unbalanced should not make a
difference.
Hope this helps,
