Hello everyone,

I have a very simple question that I can't seem to work out an answer to. That is whether or not my panel data is balanced or not.

My data originally consisted of 96 observational units over six years, 2014-2019. Two of these units have been deleted due to too few observations. Also, I have deleted all observations from 2017 as key variables had missing observations for that entire year. In my mind, I have transformed an unbalanced panel into a balanced one. Is that correct? Even as 2017 is missing?

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,
Agnes von Schéele
