Hello,
If you have time invariant variables like dummies in your panel and you will use the fixed effect model, you need estimate with between fixed effect model.
You can easly estimate with between effect model in stata
xtreg dep.var ind.dep variables, be
A secod point, you need to again estiamte Hausman statistics with between estimator.

Saban
