Nick,
I have two variables and I need to check the correlation between them in a panel data, but I have a panel data for 135 countries described as follows:
countries years CA PFI
Brazil 1990 12 20
Brazil 1995 10 5
Brazil 2000 40 1
Brazil 2005 4 40
Brazil 2010 20 30
Netherlands 1990 100 30
…
I have been dealing with these data for a while and I could notice that it is a bit different to deal with panel data. So, I would like to know whether or not I can use the simple -correlate- command or there is something different. Thats my question. I don’t want to make a big mistake
Thanks
Anderson
