Hi. When I run the code above with a binary treatment, I do not get the estimation results and I get the error messages below

If your treatment is continuous or takes a large number of values, you may need to use
the threshold_stable_treatment option to ensure you have groups whose treatment does not change
over time. You may also need to use the recat_treatment option to discretize your treatment variable.

However, when I drop option breps(50) or do not include control variables, there is no error and I get the estimation results.

Why does the error occurs? And How to fix this problem?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Do

as inlist(shock,0,1)

and tell me what happens.

Thank you for your suggestion. I've found the cause of the error. I did not install the packages required for specifying controls() option.

Hi,
I have the same error when I include many controls. What package did you install to get rid of the error ?
Thank you

reghdfe, ftools, and moremata packages.

There is an answer about how many control variables can be included in the estimation in the command’s Help file FAQ section.
