Note that it did not work because these commands need balanced panel,
and I have unbalanced panel.
I'm trying now the command:
xtunitroot fisher reduct_per,dfuller lag(1)
according to the help file: xtunitroot fisher does not require
strongly balanced data, and the individual series can have gaps.
It takes stata a long time to run this command (I have 9547 panels) -
but it suppose to do exactly what I need: to run the dfuller on each
panel separately and construct average statistic.
I let you know whether it worked eventually
many thanks,
Yuval
