Dear all,
Thanks for the suggestion
I understand from the STATA manual that negative binomial regression
can be used to check overdispersion. I am nost sure whether same can
be used if one has panel data. Can I use negative binomial regression
with the cluster option to test the over dispersion in the present
problem. In the cluster I will consider the panel identifier.
