Hello,

how would it be to estimate a random coefficient model - then you probably do not need the mass of dummy variables?
See xtreg or xtmixed or xt at all.

Betreff: st: no room to add more variables...

Hi,

I have a panel dataset of about 3800 cases over 12 years (45625 
observations).  I'm estimating fixed effects models, so I assume that 
adds unit dummies.  I enter year dummies manually.  I also have some 
"growth cells" that are dummies (768 in total).  Altogether, my 
variables, unit dummies, year dummies, and growth cells = just shy of 
4600 variables.  My system has .99GB Ram.  The data file is 39873KB.  I 
have set maxvar, memory, and matsize to various sizes.  I either get 
the "no room to add more variables due to width" or it takes an 
eternity to run the model--longer than I want to wait.  Any ideas?  Do 
I need more memory?

Thanks,

John Worrall
