The literature I am basing my work on is cross-sectional data (I aim for my contribution to the literature to be that I am using panel data methods instead) so unfortunately I cannot say that the literature uses FE or RE.The paper examines the impact of corporate governance (CG), capital structure (CS) on firm value (FV) of firms in Vietnam. Q2: Could I use -xtprobit, re- instead? If so, then I think that I would not need to conduct a Hauman test, as there is no -xtprobit, re. Q1: Should I let Stata run overnight to see if -xtlogit, fe- produces an outcome? Or is it not worth using -xtlogit, fe-, because I can foresee further analysis being complicated by the large amount of time it takes to run? Please could someone advise me on the next course of action? xtlogit, re- produces an outcome in a couple of minutes, but -xtlogit, fe- will take hours.

This concerns me, as I believe many individuals are being dropped out because they have responded yes to -saving- in all waves they participated in, or no in all waves.

When I run -xtlogit, fe-, I lose many observations. +-Ģ976 100.00 | XXXXXXXXXXXXXThe dependent variable is binary, measuring an individual's ability to save (saving=1 if individual indicated an ability to save 0 otherwise).Īs -saving- is binary, I should be using nonlinear methods (either xtprobit or xtlogit).
