  • Attrition in administrative data

    Dear all, I estimated a xtcloglog and therefore I controlled for random effects. However, my panel data from administrative source might be affected by the problem of attrition. Is there a way to control for attrition with such a kind of model (xtcloglog)? By looking into the Stata manual and sources there seems not to be a way. My questions therefore are:
    Do you know whehter is it possible to deal with the issue of attrition in panel data with a similar model, like a xtlogit? If it is no the case: do you have alternative solutions?

    Thank you very much for your kind attention.

    I thought Stata 13 had improved censoring capabilities? Maybe this: http://www.stata.com/stata13/censored-outcomes/?

      Inverse probability of attrition weighting might (or might not) be a solution. See: Wooldridge, 2002, p. 28-29 and Woodridge, 2007, p. 1293. There's a Stata example in Baulch and Quisumbing (2010), which I have not read.
