AW: AW: st: AW: dropped interaction terms from FE model

[P K <statistics_2009@yahoo.de>]

Hi Glenn,

thanks, I checked it with a RE model instead of a FE model and discovered that the variables are indeed dropped due to 
collinearity. 
Sorry, that was my mistake.
Thanks
Pat

Strange. Are the interactions still dropped if you just use -regress-?

If so, are you absolutely *sure* there's no multicollinearity problem
(e.g. by checking using -_rmcoll- or -_rmdcoll-)?

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!
