Luca Fumarco <[email protected]>:
No, you do not have to omit the complete set of occupation dummies you
are including with i.occupation, but you should be aware that 11
clusters will tend to produce SEs biased toward zero, leading to
rejection rates well above the nominal level. The cluster-robust
estimator of variance is consistent, meaning that as the number of
clusters approaches infinity it gets arbitrarily close to the truth,
not that you can use it with a very small number of clusters and
expect good performance (though 50 seems a good rule of thumb
threshold for "close enough to infinity"). The model stat is missing
because you have too few df to test all coefs. Read:
