panel data regression with exponential form

[Sima]

Hi
I want to know how can I run a panel data regression with exponential form? I've been told that the formula ls y = c(1) + exp(c(2)*x) doesn't work for panel data.Is it correct?

What is the form of the equation you're trying to estimate?

And what is your error specification and how does the panel nature of the data enter into the spec.

What is the form of the equation you're trying to estimate?

My equation is u=e^av where u is unemployment rate and v is vacancy rate.I ran u=c(1)+exp(c(2)*v) and it worked without any error .but my teacher said that it's not correct because it doesn't consider the fixed and random effect.I don't understand why?

Did you include fixed or random effects?

Did you include fixed or random effects?

yes,I included fixed effects.

Any fixed effects added to the specification will be as a linear term added to the end of your nonlinear specification. Estimation is done in the usual fashion for fixed effects by iterating the linearized specification to convergence.
