Re: st: Coefficients resulting from Cross-Sectional Regressions

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

What does "different amounts of yearly observations" mean?

Perhaps you seek -rolling-.

I'm not an economist, or at least no longer studying it, so economists
and econometricians on the list may have a better sense of what you
want.
