I am trying to regress returns as my dependent variable on forecast errors. My dependent variable is returns between announcement dates for company earnings (RET2). My independent variables are POST92 which is an indicator variable equal to 1 if the year is greater than or equal to 1992, SUE1 (earnings surprise based on GAAP earnings), SUE3 (earnings surprise based on analyst forecast). Could someone explain the difference between a cross sectional and pooled time series regression.
1. What is the SAS command for a cross sectional regression:
RET2- independent variable
POST92 sue3 sue3*post92 sue1 sue1*post92 - dependent variables
2. How can I create variables sue3*post92 and sue1*post92 which are multiplication of two other variables?
3. What is the SAS command for a panel data regression. My observations are quarterly earnings but they are on different dates so I am not sure whether the panel should be daily or quarterly.
4. Which regression should I use if my dependent variable is returns between announcement dates- cross sectional or time series pooled?
Thank you!
