Panel Data

Hello,

I am doing a panel data again. And I am having the same problem as before.

I m using Eview 7.

I am picking up from Excel the panel data

The columns are: Year/Quarter (eg 2001q1, 2001q2), Firm, EBITDA... etc... i have dummies for the years and the quarters

Im using the "basic structure" Panel Data with "cross section ID: Firm" and data series: "Year/Quarter"

I want to know that when I am estimating using LS and I go to Panel Options and put Cross-Section "Fixed" and Period "Fixed" on effects specifications i do not need to include the dummies for year and quarters.

Best regards and thanks in advance
