[Gretl-users] Limited Number of Independent Variables - Random Effects - Panel Data

Dear all. May I pose the following problem with the random-effects panel data model that I created: The model consists of 54 independent variables (1 constant, 8 focus variables, 5 control variables, and 40 time dummies). When I extend the model by one focus variable it cuts off one time dummy. It seems to be a restriction of gretl, that if more than 54 variables are specified in the model, gretl leaves out all independent variables exceeding this limit without a notification of omitting some variables. Does gretl restrict the number of independent variables to 54? If yes, is there a way around that restriction? Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.
