Maybe Jack can answer that.
Uhhh, I don't think there's a strightforward way to do this: fixed-effects
logit uses a clever trick to zap the individual effects away from the
estimation problem (which, btw, uses a very special feature of the
logistic distribution). I guess it _should_ be possible to derive an
unbiased estimator for the individual effects, but I've never seen
anything like that used in practice. And besides, it wouldn't be
conceptually possible for those units for which the dependent variable is
all zeros or all ones. Maybe Claudia has more info.
