Statalist,

In a previous reply to Henry's post, I suggested the use of the robust option to
compute Huber/White errors.  As David Drukker kindly pointed out to me, this
will not solve Henry's problem.  The model will be inconsistent is the presence
of heteroskedasticity and therefore, computing a robust covariance matrix for
inconsistent estimators is not useful.

I hope no one was misled by my previous reply,
Scott
