Dear users,
I tried to use the xttest2 after xtreg y x1 x2 ..., fe or xtgls y x1 x2....
to check for cross-sectional correlation.
Yet, I obtain the error message: "Correlation matrix of residuals is singular.
not possible with test"
The problems seems to be, that the number of households in my samples
is bigger than the number of periodes. I found an article by M. Hashem Pesaran
"General Diagnostic Tests for Cross Section Dependence in Panels", University of Cambridge & USC,
June 2004, on this subject. They seem to develop a test that can be used in this case.
My question: Is there any possibility to use it in stata? How?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
