Steve,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have included country dummies by hand 
into my (linear) cross-section model. The problem I've got is that some 
of those country dummies get dropped, and I cannot have control over 
the dummies that get dropped.

Any further suggestions will be more than welcomed!


Thanks,
Andrea

each
pair of countries) and include them in your model (assuming it is a 
linear
model).
