Hello,
It isn't clear to me what kind of sampling method the vce(bootstrap) command uses when you specify it as an option for xtreg with fixed effects with a panel. Does it use a "block bootstrap" method, i.e., drawing strings of time series from within the i() variable? If so, how long of a block does it draw? If not, how is it dealing with serial correlation? Thanks in advance for your insights. Best, Jennifer
