Caliph Omar Moumin <[email protected]>:
92 percent of your sample has only one observation in the first time
period, then you have a few cases with longer durations?  Only
duration varies across cases? I would use pooled OLS and cluster on
id, myself.  Is cost a nonnegative depvar?  In that case, you may
prefer glm with a log link:

Is that so? If that is correct then i choose to apply the random effect model becuase of some time in-variant involved.
