Sarit,
Unlike the cases of OLS and Poisson regression, fixed effects logit is not equivalent to logit with dummy variables for the cross-sectional units. Logit with dummy variables for the cross-sectional units produces inconsistent estimates except in the unusual case where the number of observations per group is large. There is a short entry on this in the Stata manual description for -clogit- under the section "Fixed-effects logit" (p. 224 of Version 9 Reference A-J manual) which gives some references.

Hello,

I am confused by the large estimated differences I see when using
xtlogit fe by(hid)
and logit with dummies for hid. Does anyone know why the results are
so different? Which one is more correct?


Thanks,
Sarit
