  • How to deal with unbalanced panel data for Hedonic Price Method?

    I currently have a micro (5 years) panel data of house price transaction. There are a total of 800 different high rise properties (name of apartment/condo) and 30000 transactions across the 5 years. However, the data is really unbalanced as residential properties have different numbers of transaction in a year. Also at times, a particular year does not have transaction of a particular property.

    I am unsure as how I should proceed with the analysis. If possible, I would like to avoid the pathway of removing the non-repeated properties from the data.

    welcome to this forum.
    I would not worry about unbalancedness, as Stata can handle both balanced and unbalanced panel datasets with no problem.
    Kind regards,

      Thanks Carlo.

      So this means I can proceed with the analysis as per usual with balanced panel data?

          Sorry to bother you again, so given an example as below (note: hypothetical scenario), in my current understanding is that it can still be done normally? Apologies for the lack luster example. Fairly new to all of this.
