Hi, I've run into this conundrum that I am not sure if it is a mathematical question or it is a Stata question.
I am using xtmelogit for 2-level, random intercepts models. The models take a long time to run due to same size and the number of the parameters. I ran a base model saved as matrix(a) and used that for subsequent models.
The command I use is
xtmelogit participation i.highested female C_age religious statist_only C_lngdp C_ln_population elf C_religion_pc || newid3:, laplace from(a, skip)
level 1 variables are individual characteristics, and level 2 variables are country characteristics.
The level 2 variables of interest (Statist, Corporatist, Statist-Corporatist, Liberal) are all dummy variables. As you can see, the coefficients for all level 2 vary across the models, but the coefficient and standard error for the level 1 variables are exactly the same. I don't know why this is happening. Anyone has any ideas?
