Subject | st: Question about xtlogit and temporal dummy variables |
Date | Fri, 28 Feb 2014 14:40:33 -0800 |
I had a question about Beck, Katz and Tucker (1998)'s recommendation for using temporal dummies to approximate a proportional hazard model. (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~franzese/BeckKatzTucker.TakingTimeSeriously.AJPS1998.pdf) I was trying to understand exactly if temporal dummies are necessary (or desirable) when using xtlogit to estimate a discrete time event history model. I wasn't sure (and couldn't really tell in reading the documentation) to what extent xtlogit already incorporates this in its estimates or does the user have to specify them? Or if specifying them might interact with any correction that xtlogit does already. Thanks for your input!
