Hi Austin,
I have tried a lot of different things but that code does not work for
my data. That is, if I try to summarize the data using "sum ..... if
ok==1" I still get that the summary statistics are based on more
observations than those used for the XTIVREG2 runs. As I said before,
the "only" apparent difference between my data and your example is
that I use lagged RHS variable in XTIVREG2 and my panel is unbalanced
and with gaps.
I will keep thinking about this, but should you have any further
thoughts please let me know.
Thanks,
Erasmo
