Re: st: Missing standard error of constant term

Hi Maarten

Thanks for your reply. I am doing the logit regression for propensity
score matching. And I really needed the community dummies in the model
to control for any unobserved community effects. So your suggestion
would be for me to  drop them completely? I checked and there are
sufficient observations per community.

Kindly advise
