  • Bunching of Data for Independent Variable

    Hi all,

    My key independent variable of interest can take one of four values (1,2,3,4) and there is serious bunching: 80% of all observations have value=3 with the rest of the observations being relatively distributed among the other 3 values.
    The dependent variable can take the values of positive real numbers and does not suffer from bunching.

    I estimate a two-way fixed effects regression of the form:
    HTML Code:
    xtreg y i.x i.year, fe vce(robust)
    My question is whether there are any fancy estimation models I should be aware of which can better handle the fact that my data is bunched at one particular value for the independent variable?

    Thanks in advance,
    Rhys
