I'm trying to test and interpret the triple DDD results, but I'm not so sure whether I'm doing it correctly or not.
Here is brief information on the dataset.
I want to look at the different variations of a policy in age groups and states on outcome over multiple time points (monthly data). My variables are:
lnr(outcome variable, log-transformed, continuous), after(0=before policy, 1=after policy). agecut(0=not eligible to the policy, 1=eligibile to the policy), state(0=most affected by policy, 1=least affected by policy), I included several time-variant covariates in the model.
So, using the information, I tried to conduct DDD analysis and checked many resources online.
What I found useful is from threads answered by Clyde Schechter on statalist, especially: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...ddd-using-areg
I was confused what to use among following commands: areg, reg, xtreg....
So, since my data is panel, it seems like I should use xtset, but still I'm not sure what to choose for the clustered unit.
So, what I did was
make a group egen group=group(agecut, state)
and then I run following commands
xtset group date
xtreg lnr after##agecut##state, fe vce(cluster group)
I got results as follows:
xtreg lnall after##agecut##state , fe vce(cluster group)
note: 1.agecut omitted because of collinearity.
note: 1.state omitted because of collinearity.
note: 1.agecut#1.state omitted because of collinearity.

Did I correctly specify the model?
So here are my questions: 1) why are F (3,3) and Prob>F are dotted?
2) How should I interpret the results of margins commands?
3) When I reported it at a journal, what information should I report? Many studies I have read present findings exactly like table 9.3 in the following webpage: https://mixtape.scunning.com/differe...fferences.html
However, I can't have this kind of result with the margin commands I run. Did I do something wrong?
Thanks in advance for your interest.
