Hi,
I am running two regressions of my banking risk proxies which are Z-score and Non-Performing Loan Ratio (NPLr) on the list of bank-specific and macro-economic variables. Initially, I obtained annual data for variables. I will use panel data with entity and time fixed effect but the problem is that when I run regression with time-fixed effect, my macro-economic variables (GDP growth, Inflation, Unemployment) become omitted due to collinearity. As I understand it happens due to the fact that I use the same value for each company within certain time period (1 year). So, I wanted to ask if there is a way to solve this problem without obtaining quarterly data for all the variables or it's the only way?
I've attached a screenshot from Stata so that you could see that.
Regards,
