Actually I used a very simple data set for the purporse of learning.
The
Gretl output file and the data set are attached below. Sorry, I have a
german version :). Thanks again for your help!
Your output (parts):
Modell 1: Fixed-effects, mit 12 Beobachtungen
Mit 4 Querschnittseinheiten
ZeitreihenlÀnge = 3
AbhÀngige Variable: TestGrade
Weggelassen wg. exakter KollinearitÀt: Joe Sue Mark
So if I interpret your setup correctly, you told gretl to include unit
fixed effects (hence gretl's description as "Fixed-effects"), and then
you manually created and included unit dummies "Joe", "Sue", and
"Mark".
So effectively you're throwing in two sets of identical (or collinear)
unit dummies. Of course they're collinear then and gretl throws them out
because of that.
(The fact that the calculation is done with the within transformation
doesn't matter for this problem.)
