54 seems to me an adequate size for inferential statistics. What you 'infere' from that reduced sample in term of results to attribute to the population maybe it's the main problem with your analysis.

Oggetto: Re: st: AW: Sample size
I have a full model, control and 3 indep Var1 Var2 Var3.
I have two subgroups, identified by a dummy D
When D = 1, the subgroup has only 54 companies (for D=0 I have 139 companies, for a total of 193 companies).
I run interactions:
Var1 x D
Var2 x D
Var3 x D
I introduce these interactions one per time; afterward, I include them all-together (i.e., a chow test).
How can I be sure if my analysis is OK, given that the second subsample has only 54 corporations?

" How can I figure out the minimum sample size per each subgroup required to run correct regression (OLS)?"
How is a "correct regression" defined theoretically? Stata does have commands like -h sampsi-, but apparently you are looking for something else?

Betreff: st: Sample size
Dear Statalist
I have a sample of about 193 corporations; this sample is composed by:
- a subgroup of 139 corporations (subgroup A)
- a subgroup of 54 corporations (subgroup B), identified by a dummy SUBG
I run interactions (i.e., the dummy SUBG x indep var); I also run a chow test.
Do you think that 54 companies in the interacting subsample are not enough? How can I figure out the minimum sample size per each subgroup required to run correct regression (OLS)?
Thank you
