Hi,
This is just my opinion. I think what you did with "ID" is essentially the same as -encode- country, which is not what conventionally refereed "ID". I assume you should create ID number for individuals within each country, say,
UK 1 Albania
UK 2 XXXX
UK 3 YYYY
.
.
.
US 1 Albania
US 2 XXXX
.
.
.
However, given your panel data will cover 15 years time span, will you have a time variable indicating the years?
Bests,
Karen
