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.

I once read a definition of soil: soil is anything so designated by a competent authority. (Geologists and agronomists, for example, have very different ideas about what soil is in essence, or even in practice. U.S. readers may want to translate "soil" as "dirt".) > > Nick > n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk > > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu [mailto:owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu] On Behalf Of Muhammad Anees > Sent: 07 February 2012 04:52 > To: statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu > Subject: Re: st: nbreg with fixed effect vs xtnbreg,fe > > -xtnbreg- is for panel data which requires at least two different time > periods, then how cross sectional estimation and panel data estimation > can give you the same estimate? > > On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 9:41 AM, Shikha Sinha <shikha.sinha414@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hi Anees, >> >> Yes, fixed effect can be used in cross-sectional data, where within >> county variation will be exploited.
