Re: st: 2-way Fixed Effects model

[Lucas <lucaselastic@gmail.com>]

Austin,

Thanks for your note.  I know I can do this for a one-way OLS fixed
effects model with the -noconstant- option. However, in a two-way
fixed effects model this should produce a dummy variable.  That's what
I expect with the reg command.  Am I mistaken?  Also, does the iv2reg
prevent the dummy variable trap?
