Re: st: How to solve "repeated time values" error message for panel dataset

[Nataliya Acc <p99asn01@yahoo.com>]

Dear Maarten,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I tried to do what you suggested but it still returns the same error message:repeated time values within panel
r(451);

Is there anything else I could do or change?

Thank you very much for your time and help

Looking forward to hearing from oyu

Best regards

Nataliya

The easiest sollution would be:

egen pan_id = group(country industry)
tsset pan_id year

Notice that now we are ignoring that the same industry in different
countries will be similar to one another and that different industries
in the same country will be similar to one another.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
