Hi dear profs and colleagues,
I am running this model. In Reg estimation, there is no collinearity but when I run fixed effect, the main explanatory variable is omitted due to collinearity. I tried to drop the control variables and estimate only the dependent variable and predictor, though collinearity still exists and eliminates the independent variable. Could you please share your ideas in this regard? Thanks.
