@Tyler_Menzer Absolutely, but stata does a few funky things in picking the baseline and it can vary by command (reg choosing omissions by order of regressors, xtreg normalizing intercept to average of FE, etc) It can throw off coefficient interpretation badly

@DangGarrett So I have always thought about this as understanding what the baseline is, rather than there being a correct or incorrect answer. Ideally results should not be dependant on which Fe you drop for the baseline...right?

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's a warning I give to students regarding estimating Stata regressions with fixed effects...

@BerkouwerS Daniel F Garrett is a wonderful economist who regularly trades referee reports with me over our common name (as does Daniel M Garrett). I'm 99.9% sure this is a financial scam targeting junior academics in developing countries based on my inbox full of questions

@DangGarrett You sure it’s not just someone in France with your name? eg sites.google.com/site/dfgarrett/

Well, I think I've finally arrived! There is a fake conference scam going around with my name on it... If you get an invite to this fake conference, please don't click on any links >.< (and if you know how to make them stop, I'd love advice)

@danielrnathan You gotta warn me about these things@!! Not that I have any idea what to do in this scenario, but how else am I supposed to know to worry frantically about people misusing my name for fraud?

@DangGarrett I got that one!

@sc_cath You have research money--buy your own flight to the scam conference!

@DangGarrett Do you cover travel expenses? I like to fly back to Paris around that time
