As -egen, group()- maps to 1 ... whatever regardless of gaps, this might
in fact make things worse. What's wrong with -year- (or -year- MINUS
midpoint) for interpretability?

Your code maps years in your dataset to integer numbers, and I am not
sure
that it gets you any closer to your final destination. So far, it has
not
hurt either...

I was trying to estimate a production function with an unbalanced
firm-year panel data and wanted to include a time trend. However I was
not sure if the time trend was created correctly.
egen t=group(year)
I was wondering if anyone could please tell me if this was correct?
