CIPS unit root test to latex format

[Sumaila Iddrisu]

I am running CIPS unit root test using the commands;
gen Variable=""
gen CIPS=.
local i 1
foreach var of varlist GDP Life_Expectancy Population_Growth Gross_Fixed_Capital Unemployment{
xtcips `var',maxlag(1) bglag(1) trend
replace Variable= subinstr("`var'","_", " ", .) in `i'
replace CIPS = r(cips) in `i'
local ++i
}
format CIPS %9.3f
drop if missing(Variable)
keep Variable CIPS
list, clean
texsave using cipsroottestlevels.tex, title(CIPS unit root test) width(5in) footnote(Source: Constructed by Author) replace

My panel is balanced but I keep getting error "variable Variable was str1 now str3
(1 real change made)
(1 real change made)
panel must be balanced
invalid syntax
r(198);


Can anyone please suggest alternative commands or approach. Thank you.

Hi

I just had the same situation. I have 3180 observations and my panel is strongly balanced. And I could run the command xtcips for all my variables except for one. I realized that the unsuccessed variable had 3 missing data. I could change the missing data for zeros without affecting real values and then the command works! I hope this helps
