  • Unable to run xtcsd, pesaran

    I'm using a panel data set that is unbalanced. I'm running through tests for OLS assumptions and my last one is looking at cross-sectional dependence. I'm using a fixed-effects regression with robust standard errors. When I enter in "xtcsd, pesaran" after successfully running the regression, I get the following error message:

    "__000001 contains all missing values
    r(498);"

    I've used the mdesc command which shows there are no missing values. What else could I be doing wrong? Is the issue that I'm using an unbalanced panel data set?

    The problem points to the fact that xtcsd tries to generate an internal temporary variable. This variable contains only missings.

    Do other programs such as xtcd2 work?
