Regression of Panel data analysis - Help

[deleted_user]

I'm new to SAS and wanted some help regarding the structure of the data needed to perform panel data analysis on SAS. It is a time series Cross sectional panel data analysis

My current data is in this format:

Company 1989 1990 1991
X 12 13 45
Y 8 10 16


I have been told that the data format for panel data analysis on SAS should be as follows:

Company
X 1989 12
X 1990 13
X 1991 45

Y 1989 8
Y 1990 10
Y 1991 16

Can you please confirm which format is the right one for panel data analysis on SAS ?

Thanks

Hello -
You might want to check out the PANEL procedure of SAS/ETS. In fact, the online documentation of this procedure contains some information about the required data structure - see for example: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/etsug/63348/HTML/default/viewer.htm#/documentation/cdl/e...
