Thank you, Scott. Without disrespect, I am still a little bit unsure about
this. Several small points raise my concern. On the -help xtreg- page in
Stata, on the bottom are some command examples and none of them show time
random effects explicitly. Also, on the -findit xtreg- page, there is an
example for chapter 14 of Greene's book. I checked it, the original text
book chapter has two way effects in the table. On the Stata webpage for
this, seems that it stops on the time random effects part. In addition,
seems that when you do not specify i() in xtreg (but you specify panel tis
beforehand) and estimate random effects, it means only the cross-section
random effects, not both. I hope you could enlighten me. Just say you tried
this before. :-)

If you want random time effects without cross section effects you can use
-xtreg-. Simply specify the "i(varname)" option with the time variable
(i.e. -xtreg depvar indepvar, i(time)-)
For two-way random effects take a look at -xtmixed- or -gllamm-
