Finding an Applicable Econometric Model to use in Stata

[Jacob Judd]

Hey everyone!

I am looking for an econometric model for my research.

I will be using the CPS Contingent Work Supplement from 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, and 2005. This is not panel data. The variables which I am interested in ask questions such as:
1) are you a member of a temporary help agency? (0=no, 1=yes).
2) are you in independent contractor? (0=no, 1=yes)

I also have quarterly data on GDP, personal income, and unemployment by US state. I have then created variables such as:
1) Average GDP of each state during the recovery cycle following the 2001 US economic recession
2)Percentage growth rate of personal income during this same expansionary phase

My goal is to find a regression model in which I can study the effect of subcontracting on the ability of the US Economy to recovery from economic recessions.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!

Jacob

This is a repeat of https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...subcontracting and of https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...nometric-model

In those threads you got good advice. In any case all members are asked to read the FAQ Advice before posting. Please do that before you post anything else.

In particular https://www.statalist.org/forums/help#adviceextras #1 on bumping etc. is quite explicit:

Posting exactly the same question again is strongly discouraged and is unlikely to increase your chance of getting a response.

Nothing rules out a later answer to any of these questions, but so far the silent signal is that no-one wants to give any advice on this. Further, you've had a suggestion that this is off-topic.

(Your first two threads were also highly repetitive. Naturally, we realise you're new here, and learning how to use the forum, but now you have a strong steer to improve a question that isn't getting anywhere, not to multiply threads.)
