Dear Lisa,
drop the obs with the missing values is, in general, a bad idea.
After a little tour on Stata archives, I would point you to the following
thread:
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2012-07/msg00198.htm
and to the link it mentions:
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/statistics/clustering-and-mi-impute/.
I do hope this little advice can help you out.
Best regards,
Carlo

Oggetto: st: Missing values - panel data
Dear all,
I have a question concerning missing values. I have a panel data set for 6
years, in total 7 mio obs, but the panel is unbalanced.
So, should I drop the obs with the missing values, or what's best? This
would shrink the sample to 80% of its original size.
Thx in advance!
Lisa
