Panel Data How to analyze one specific cross section?

[shamier]

Hello,

I have panel data from 1992-2010 for 51 US states and the District of Columbia. I am interested in running my model on one specific state for a. the entire time period and b.for one specific year ( ie. i would like to run my model on NY, in 1993). Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Code: Select all

smpl if state = "District of Columbia" smpl 1993 1993 if state = "New York"

although the latter would appear to have only one observation.
