If there are missing observations in your data it can really get you into trouble if you're not careful. Some notes on how to handle it.

4:19 'missing(varname)' function that checks if a value is missing from a variable

Hello, What is the recommended method to treat missing values? should I just drop the whole observation, or is there another method ?

I am running a panel regression with data from a list of small countries on energy sector. the thing is some of these countries did not have any renewable energy for few years in the data period. it's not that data are missing, it is just that there were no renewable energy. is it ok for me to put 0 as data for those few years. this happens to two variables. my dependent variable (renewable energy production) and one independent variable (funding for renewable energy). is it ok for me to put 0 in those few years. as for funding in some years there were international funding, and in other years there were no funding.
