hello.Hi Statalisters,
I am a student who is using Stata for the first time. I would like to analyze a multi-level unbalanced panel with fixed effects.
The data we have was collected from 2005 to 2022 in 28 European countries, and some countries have it and some do not.
The subjects are 28 European countries with disproportionality from 2005 to 2022, and the independent variable is the response to life satisfaction in the WVS.
And the dependent variable is the country-level GDP for 2005.
I would really appreciate your quick reply.
1. How do I create a panel variable?

2. Is analysis possible even if the result says weakly balanced?
3. what is the problem? and what action should i take next?
