Dear all,
I'm new on Stata community and I'm using stata 12. I'm trying to determine whether governance has a direct effect on the economic growth of a panel of 33 countries over 15 years.
To make sure I can use panel fixed effect models I am trying to perform a homogeneity test on my dataset. My panel is balanced but with many missing values.

When I perform the Hsiao test (1986) it displays the error message "no observation r(2000)". I think it's because of the missing values. Am I right? Stata still displays a result can I take it into account ? If not, how to perform this test for a panel with missing data?


The Hsiao test command used :

Thank you very much for your help,
