I would like to do a fixed effect regression using 28 European countries across a 1969-2016 timeframe. my problem is that I have a very unbalanced panel. My independent variable is an index which is computable only for the years shown below while my dependent variable would be available every year.
Code:
xtdescribe, pattern(50) id: 1, 2, ..., 28 n = 28 year: 1967, 1969, ..., 2016 T = 44 Delta(year) = 1 unit Span(year) = 50 periods (id*year uniquely identifies each observation) Distribution of T_i: min 5% 25% 50% 75% 95% max 2 2 6 8 9 13 27 Freq. Percent Cum. | Pattern ---------------------------+---------------------------------------------------- 1 3.57 3.57 | ...........................................1..1... 1 3.57 7.14 | ...........................................1..1..1 1 3.57 10.71 | .......................................1...1..1..1 1 3.57 14.29 | .....................................1..1..1...... 1 3.57 17.86 | .................................1...1..1..1..1... 1 3.57 21.43 | .................................1...1..1..11.1111 1 3.57 25.00 | ..............................1.1....1..1..1.1.... 1 3.57 28.57 | ............................1....1...1..1..1..1... 1 3.57 32.14 | ............................1.1................... 1 3.57 35.71 | .........................1...1.......1..1..1..1... 1 3.57 39.29 | .........................1...1.....1.1..1..1..1... 1 3.57 42.86 | ........................1..1....1.....1.1.1..1..1. 1 3.57 46.43 | ....................1......11.1..1...1..1..1..1... 1 3.57 50.00 | ....................1......111...1...1..1..1...... 1 3.57 53.57 | ....................1....1..1....1...1..1..1..1... 1 3.57 57.14 | ....................1...1...1....1...1..1..1..1... 1 3.57 60.71 | ...................1.....1..1...1....1..1..1..1..1 1 3.57 64.29 | ...................11.1.1.1.1..1.1...1...1.1...1.. 1 3.57 67.86 | ..................1.....1..1..1..1...1..1..1..1... 1 3.57 71.43 | ..................1..1...1..1.1..1................ 1 3.57 75.00 | ................1...1..1..1.....1....1..1..1..1... 1 3.57 78.57 | ...............1.........1.......1.1.1..1..1..1... 1 3.57 82.14 | .............1....1....1....1....1...1..1..1..1..1 1 3.57 85.71 | ............1......1....1...1....1...1..1..1..1... 1 3.57 89.29 | ...........1.....1....1....1.....1....1....1...... 1 3.57 92.86 | ......1....1..1.11..1.1.1..11..1.1111111111111111. 1 3.57 96.43 | ..1....1....1......1....1..11...1....1..1..1..1..1 1 3.57 100.00 | 1.......1.....1.....1....1..1....1....1........... ---------------------------+---------------------------------------------------- 28 100.00 | X.X...XXX..XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
