Dear Lisa,
drop the obs with the missing values is, in general, a bad idea.

After a little tour on Stata archives, I would point you to the following
thread:

http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2012-07/msg00198.htm

and to the link it mentions:

http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/statistics/clustering-and-mi-impute/.

I do hope this little advice can help you out.

Best regards,
Carlo

Oggetto: st: Missing values - panel data

Dear all,
 
I have a question concerning missing values. I have a panel data set for 6
years, in total 7 mio obs, but the panel is unbalanced. 
 
So, should I drop the obs with the missing values, or what's best? This
would shrink the sample to 80% of its original size.
 
Thx in advance!
Lisa
