Panel data evidence with no of observed banks is larger than the time period
Hi
I absorb it as, 'is there any test to confirm the suitability of data set?'. Not necessarily. Estimate keeping 'unbalanced'. n>t is not relevant.
Thanks.
Dear Boru
I agree with Chandana that you dont need to worry much about n>t. I also think that n should be larger than t, it is better for panel data
In addition, in the case of unbalanced panel data, you must take care of your estimators to test them.

I think it is very much to your advantage that the number of banks (n) is larger than the time period (t). When dealing with panel data, the size of your dataset is important; and, if you are dealing with a very large dataset, you can then actually run two tests. The first test can comprise only the balanced sample. The second test could then be the entire unbalanced sample. The results you obtain from both tests can then be compared as a robustness check.
