Hi Everyone,

I have unbalanced panel data with N=432 and T=5; I use these following command to set the panel data:

Code:
egen float cid = group(ciq_id)
by cid (event_date), sort: gen int event_num = _n
xtset cid event_num
xtpcse gw pr_vlow pr_low pr_mod act_ins pass_ins tobinq ln_tasset trans_psize earn_vol, correlation(psar1) rhotype(tscorr)
So far the reading on the forum discussion; I found that for large N and smaller T; xtpcse is not recommended. However, xtpcse giving me the expected result than xtreg. So can I used xtpcse ??


Also, as I am checking the GW capitalisation in M&A; which might have vary industry to industry. For example IT industry have higher intangibles than manufacture industry. So, do I need to control for industry in xtpcse; if the answer of using xtpcse is yes.

Code:
