Thanks, Martin.

I checked this and there is enough variation in the dropped variables. 

Also, STATA removes them when I try to estimate a RE model (instead of a FE model).

Any other ideas on why they get dropped?

Thanks!

Just look at -xtsum- for your covariates after the estimation to see whether there is any within variation in the dropped variables. That would be the most likely culprit for an FE model. Note the covariate "black" in this example...

//     Setup
webuse nlswork, clear

gen age2 = age*age
gen ttl_exp2 = ttl_exp*ttl_exp

Betreff: st: dropped interaction terms from FE model

Hi,

I am estimating  the following FE panel model:

xtreg AverChangeROEadj2 strategy_01 duration_change_t1 ceo_change_t1 ceo_int_t1 tmt_turnover_t1 sizelnempl age prior_slack_avail2 ROEadj_1 external_change_dummy lgcount_strategy performance_crisis_ROEadj strategy_01_change_t1 strategy_ceoint ceoint_change change_ceoint_strategy, fe

However, the interaction between strategy_01 (a dummy variable) and change duration (continuous variable) gets dropped from the model (strategy_01_change_t1).

Also, the interaction between strategy_01 (a dummy variable), change duration (continuous variable) and ceo change (a dummy variable) gets dropped from the model. (change_ceoint_strategy)

Any hints why this could be the case and what to do about it (there is no multicollinearity or missing value problem)? 
Thanks, Pat
