Thanks a lot for all the suggestions !
Clive, unfortunately, if I set the memory to 30m and matsize 6500, I cannot open the dataset
(the usual no room to add more observations). If I further increase the memory, the matsize
decreases correspondingly. Any other ways of sorting this problem out?
Mark, thanks for the fixed effects and cluster-robust standard errors suggestion ;-). I will check it out
