Re: st: Test for structural break in panel

If there is a genuine structural break affecting all or most of a
panel at the same (calendar) time, won't it be apparent from -probit
response time-, pooling all panels? That could be re-parametrised in
terms of year at which predicted response is 0.5, could it not?
Alternatively, smooth the pattern of responses to see where an
inflexion may most plausibly be identified.
