Hi everyone, 
I would very much appreciate your help with my following question.  

I am estimating a panel data model using both the Random Effects 
Feasible Generalized Least Squares (REFGLS) and the Fixed Effects 
Within (FE) estimators.

I know that the R- squared to be reported when using the FE estimator 
is the R- squared (Within), but which one to report for the REFGLS ? 
(In Stata output, I have three R-sqaured: overall, within & between). 
I guess for the REFGLS, the overall R-squared is more likely to be the 
correct one to be reported. Is that correct?.

Is there any text book where I can read about the formula for 
calculating the R-squared for the REFGLS estimator? I want to know the 
mathematical relationship between the formula for R-squared for the 
REFGLS and that for the FE Within. 

I would very much appreciate your suggestions, 
Thank you so much & best regards,
