Re: st: Random coefficients model

The model I would like to estimate is: V =a+b1*Size+b2*Lev+b3*K, i.e.
firm value is a function of size, leverage and capital. I have an
unbalanced firm-year panel with over 500 firms and 30 years. I would
like b1 and b2 to be fixed across all firms and b3 to be
firm-specific. I agree that -xtrc- wouldn't be able to do this, but I
am not quite sure -xtmixed- is the correct model to use. If allowing
all three coefficients to be random, which one of the two methods
would be a better fit? Thanks a lot.
Cheers,
Lu
