Re: st: nbreg with fixed effect vs xtnbreg,fe

Yes I totally admit my confusing line by defining time periods as time
variable, but what I have understood so far (which is very limited)
about panel data fixed effects, is that there should be observations
for two time periods atleast, even if not the time is not existing in
the data.
I thank Nick for correcting me.
So I wonder how cross sectional fixed effects would be similar to or
different than panel data fixed effects as is the case of -nbreg- and
-xtnbreg-. One more question, will -xtnbreg, fe- work when the data is
not -set xt-?
Thanks in anticipation to correct me further.
Best,
Anees
