Hi everyone,

I'm working on panel data with firm ID as panelvar and report_period as timevar.

I've tried to find out how to deal with my dependent variable but didn't find anything yet. It is a 0.5-paced score ranging from 0-10 and I wonder what type of regression analysis is suitable for it.
Can I treat it as an ordinal variable and run xtologit right away or do I have to adjust the variable by making the score consist of integer values only?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best,
Ilka
