femlogit with factor variables

[Jan Gleiman]

I want to run a multinomial logit for panel data with fixed effects. The user written command femlogit by Dr. Knorr seems to be the best option. After trying it, I realized it does not allow factor variables as independent variable. Is there any way around this if my models need to include factor variables?

Example:

femlogit y i.x1 x2 x3, baseoutcome(0)

- factor variables and time series operators not allowed.


Thanks

You can try

tab x1, gen(dx)
femlogit y dx* x2 x3, baseoutcome(0)
