Hello dear readers,
I am working on regression analysis on panel data with time series.
I have noticed that, when adding the last control variable to my model (a dummy variable), the R-squared diminishes by about 3% with respect to the model without the dummy.
Is it actually possible that this dummy, whose coefficient is pretty high and is (or seems to be) significative at 0.1%, is invalidating my results? I am used to the notion that regressors always raise the R-squared level, even if they are not adding any explanatory power to the regression.
I checked forcorrelation between regressors (fairly low), and then collinearity - the tests are negative.
Any idea as to why this may happen? Thank you very much!
