Dear All,
I have firm level data (no panel!) and run:

Code:
reg y x i.country
Stata identifies country fixed effects even for countries that only have one firm in my sample, which leads me to question the coefficent. I am sort of confused. I thought I really need within group variation to get a meaningful estimate?
