st: How should I treat my dataset???Paneldata/cross section/clustering

[ajita <ajita63@hotmail.com>]

Hi,
  I am trying to determine the effect of flood zone on housing prices. I
have data set that looks like the following:

County  community     saleyear  saleprice flood zone
A           5160            2002      80,000       A
A           5157            2002      ----        AE
A           5157            2001       ---         X
A           5157            2001       ----        ---

My confusion is how should I treat this data in order to get the effect of
independent var on dependent variable. Should I simply use reg command in
stata or is there anything I can do with this kind of data where I have same
county, different communities and different salesyear within community.

Thank you in advance
Ajita
