Before any panel‑specific command works, you must inform Stata about the cross‑sectional identifier and the time variable. This is done with xtset :

For comparative case studies (e.g., effect of a policy in one state), synthetic control is the exclusive method.

To resolve this, leverage the Difference and System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), optimized in David Roodman’s xtabond2 package. Implementing System GMM Before any panel‑specific command works, you must inform
