Dropped observations in panel estimation

Postby jasonma » Fri Aug 14, 2009 1:33 pm

Hi, I am doing a panel estimation in Eviews. In the estimation result window, it says some countries for some years are dropped from the estimation due to a lack of observations. Does anyone know how to find out specifically which country and which year have been dropped? Thanks.

Just look at the residual series. Any observation that has an NA is an observation that was not included in the estimation.
