Adding a trend for each cross-section in panel analysis?

[E-Conman]

Hi,

Is there some easy short-cut to add a different trend for each country/cross section in panel data analysis?

What do you mean by different trend? You want a different coefficient on a trend term for each cross-section, or you want to start the trend term at a different date for each cross-section?

Try @trend*@expand(country)

That will create a separate trend coefficient for each cross section

Thanks!! This is what I meant.
