RE: st: xtreg and cross section data

["Alexander Nervedi" <alexnerdy@hotmail.com>]

short answer - yes.

Longer answer : as long as there are repeaed observations on the same unit - 
the unit could be time, state, district, household, .... xtreg will be happy 
to throw in fixed effects for that unit and you will be all set.

cheerio,
