hi,
I am attempting to cluster by firm and year, while including year dummies.
this works fine: reg dep indep1 indep2 etc fyear1-fyear12 ind1-ind10
this works as expected (same coefficients, lower t-stats): reg dep indep1 indep2 etc fyear1-fyear12 ind1-ind10, cluster (gvkey)
I have trouble with: cluster2 dep indep1 indep2 etc fyear1-fyear12 ind1-ind10,fcluster (gvkey) tcluster(fyear)
With cluster2, the coefficients remain the same (as expected), but for half the year-dummies (fyear vars), the standard error is not computed (shown as missing), so there is no t-value/p-value (but there are coefficients). There are no problems for other variables (both coefficients as well as standard errors).
Has anybody experienced this before? (Is it 'normal'?)
thanks,
Joost
