Dear all
First of all, thank you so much to you (statistical professionals) for your help and advices always.
Please, I have simple questions, and many thanks in advance for your replies.
I have a panel data set for 500 companies with regular period (2000-2010) with 9 explanatory variables (not dummies). On the other hands my dependent variable is dummy (0, 1).
  1. Please, could you tell me what is the different between logit and xtlogit command results (table) in Stata? Or which one is correct for my case?
  2. There is an specific command for my (methodology (logistic regression) to lagged all my explanatory variables? Rather than (by companyName : gen lagVAR1 = VAR1 [_n-1])? I mean for the main command logit depV Var1 Var2 …etc? please take in your account that I have some missing value in my independent variables
  3. Will be any problem if I changed the company name (ID) to number from 1-500 in excel before import them into Stata?
Thank you so much
All the best
