Dear EJMR Fellows
I'm currently in a stressful situation. I'm mid way on my PhD and realise my results have serious issues on sample period a. If I remove one year from my sample period,I don't get significance for half of the results. I didn't bother about this till last week, but one review asked me for a subsample test in one of my papers. Now either i have to quit the PhD as it is too late to change the topic. I have also realised that I'm losing significance due to few observations ( ~10-15), but I'm scared to remove those.
Appreciate your ideas on my situation.
