Alright thanks for the replies. I'll try some other things first (create the dummies in Excel for example), since the workfile is 360mb! I'll come back to you if it still happens.

As your directed, I have ran a command for filting year from 2006 to 2009 (for sure it is 4 years only) with smpl @first 2006 @last 2009. It turns out the result that
Sample (adjusted): 2000 2006 2010 2013
Periods included: 7
I am not quite sure about it. Could you explain me why it shows that periods included 7 here. I am rather certain about the command since I ran it with years 2000-2005, it gives me the correct periods.
Thanks, HM
Code: Select all
smpl 2006 2009

Still get the error... (landlockedness is no country specific variable, since it is defined as the number of landlocked countries within an observation, so 0/1/2. Most other variables are country-pair specific). Or is there an aspect of the dummy trap I don't get?
