Hey Statalists,
I am currently building a panel data set to analyse the effect of the amount of available venture capital funds on the amount of newly created firms (more precisely, the firms with a specific size). I am looking on different regions in different years, thus I need - to my current knowledge - a panel regression with state and year-fixed effects. I also have GDP as a control.
My stata line looks like this:
If I proceed as mentioned, will I be able to see the direct effect of e.g. vc_funds on log_firm (number of firms)? I recently red that in case of state-year-fixed-effects this interpretation is flawed because the direct effect is captured by the fixed-effects? I am a bit confused here, and open for any further comments.
Your help is highly appreciated
