Re: st: really need help please - fractional probit unbalanced panel-Wooldridge/ Wagner

[Kelvin Mulungu <kelvin.statalist@gmail.com>]

Am also interested in your first part.

Let me try to refer you to a document that may help to aswer your
second question about unbalanced data. Am assuming your response
variable is a fraction, hence the choice for the fractional category
of models.

In this paper
http://stata.com/meeting/chicago11/
Woodridge explains how to handle an unbalanced panel with fractional
probit and provides a user written Stata programme to run the same
model.

Kindly refer to the link for more details. I have personally used it
and it worked, but I have not been able to find the interpretation.

Thanks.
