Re: st: huge amount of j-th related individual dummies

[massimiliano stacchini <mastacchini@yahoo.it>]

Thanks. However the problem is not solved.
The precondition for realizing your strategy is to impose the 'panel' structure to the database by mean of  the command ' tsset borrower time' 
(necessary fo running the command  xtreg ..., fe )

However, when I run the command ' tsset borrower time' I get the error message: 'repeated time values within panel'. 
The error is driven by the presence of multiple lenders for each borrower in the same period (different 'i' for each 'j' in time 't')
 

Can you deal with that ? thanks

Hi:

You can easily solve your problem of modeling the fixed-effects by using procedure not known to many--that is, including the cluster level mean of the panel-varying variable gives the same estimates as using dummy variables. For a technical explanation see:

Mundlak, Y. (1978). Pooling of Time-Series and Cross-Section Data. Econometrica, 46(1), 69-85.

For a basic intuitive explanation see:

Antonakis, J., Bendahan, S., Jacquart, P., & Lalive, R. (2010). On making causal claims: A review and recommendations. The Leadership Quarterly, 21(6), 1086-1120.

To see specific examples in action with data, see:

Rabe-Hesketh, S., & Skrondal, A. (2008). Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling Using Stata. College Station, TX: Stata Press.

Hope this helps.

John.
