Hey all,
I am fitting a logit model with panel data (xtlogit command), random effects and clustered standard errors. I found a solid specification with some significant and a high Wald chi2 statistic (<2000). But if I change certain variables slightly (e.g. log of a variable or a dummy instead of a categorical) or include other variables, suddenly my model changes to have only highly insignificant estimates (z value lower than 0.1 and a really low Wald Chi2 statistic with Prob > chi2 =1.0000. I cannot figure out why it changes so much, but it happens with quite a lot specification.
Some background information which might be relevant: Number of obs = 33,956, Number of groups = 6,752, Obs per group:min = 1, avg = 5.0 max = 16, Integration pts. = 12.
Thanks for your help!
Best, Fabian
