st: Regional Fixed Effects with Individual Data

[Nicolás Rojas <nicolas.srojas@gmail.com>]

Hello Everyone,

      I am doing  research about the effects of a policy on crime reporting.

* I have two cross-sections of individual data and I want to estimate
a logit model with regional and time fixed effects.

*My problem is the following:  I want to use regional fixed effects
and xtset does not allow me to have many observations within a region.
xtset expects that I have a panel of many regions at different moments
in time but not many observations from each region at different
moments in time.

*As estimating a logit model with fixed effects is not equivalent to
add regional dummy variables, I need to correcly declare the panel
data in order to use xtlogit.


What can I do? I didn´t find any useful command at ssc describe or in
the statalist webpage.

Thank you very much,
