Thanks for you reply. But what I am having is a cross-section data.
(Survey data). I want stata to create village dummies while running the
regression. That is why I have been using areg command with the option absorb
(cluster) where cluster is the village. Since xt commands are for pannel
data can I use them in my case. Is it not possible to do a hettest command
with areg in this case at all?
Regards,
Rijo John.
