Thanks very much Austin. I think this code is very close to what I
need but not completely. Indeed, I have l1. RHS variables. Therefore,
I modified your code as follows:

webuse grunfeld, clear
drop if time>2 & company==10
xtivreg2 mvalue l1.invest, fe
g s=e(sample)
egen c=count(s), by(company)
g ok=s*(c>2)
tab company ok

Things seem to work well in your example, but not in my case. This is
perhaps happening because my panel is unbalanced? Any suggestions on
what I should do in this case
Thanks,
Erasmo
