st: FW: Xtivreg and Chi-Square

["Mortal, Sandra C." <mortals@missouri.edu>]

Hi, 

I am using the command xtivreg, I have an unbalanced panel and am using
fixed effects. My question is regarding the overall goodness of fit of
the regressors.  STATA reports a Wald Chi Square statistic of 434634.68.
However, when I use the test command to test the hypothesis that all of
the coefficients (except the firm dummies) are equal to zero I get a
much more reasonable statistic.  I get a value of 7236.41.  Also, I've
been able to replicate this number, while I am completely unable to
replicate the number reported right after the iv regression command. I
wonder if anyone could tell me the reason for this discrepancy.  I have
included the respective outputs below.

Thank you in advance for your help, 
Sandra
