Panel Data
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 11:36 am
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
Gaston
