I have used the xthausman command, however, I am very surprised by some results. When I use whatever of the following alternatives:
1)xtreg y x, fe
est store fixed
xtreg y x, re
hausman fixed .
or
2) xtreg y x, re
estimates store random_effects
xtreg y x, fe
hausman . random_effects
or
3) xtreg y x, fe
hausman, save
xtreg y x, re
hausman
I get always the same result:

b = consistent under Ho and Ha; obtained from xtreg
B = inconsistent under Ha, efficient under Ho; obtained from xtreg
Test: Ho: difference in coefficients not systematic
chi2(4) = (b-B)'[(V_b-V_B)^(-1)](b-B)
= -65.02 chi2<0 ==> model fitted on these
data fails to meet the asymptotic
assumptions of the Hausman test;
see suest for a generalized test
This would tell me that I do not have enough information to reject the null, so I have to use random effects. However, if I use the xthausman command, I get:
. xthausman
(Warning: xthausman is no longer a supported command; use -hausman-. For instructions, see help hausman.)

chi2( 5) = (b-B)'[S^(-1)](b-B), S = (S_fe - S_re)

Prob>chi2 = 0.0029
which tells me that I have to use fixed effects.
How is this possible?
Thank you very much,
Paula
