st: Fixed effect analysis question

["Khan, Nasreen" <nkhan12@uic.edu>]

I have a very  basic question. I am running an individual level fixed
effect analysis. My independent variable of interest is a dummy variable
(y/n). For some people there is variation in the independent variable
where as some people do not have any variation. My question is for people
who do NOT have any variation in the independent variable do they
contribute to the coefficient or are they dropped out.

Thanks

Nasreen
