Derren,
In order to be posted, your message has to be plain-text format.
Using -xtregar- you are running the following model
y(i,t) = x(i,t)*b + e(i,t)
e(i,t) = r*e(i,t-1) + u(i,t)
To deal with this system the procedures work in the following way:
(1) Take the first eq in period t-1 and multiply by r
r*y(i,t-1) = x(i,t-1)*b*r + r*e(i,t-1)
(2) Substract the result from the first equation
y(i,t) -r*y(i,t-1) = x(i,t)*b - x(i,t-1)*b*r + e(i,t) - r*e(i,t-1)
(3) Note that the composed residual is indeed u(i,t) using the second
equation (main assumption of this procedure), then the model is:
y(i,t) = r*y(i,t-1) + x(i,t)*b - x(i,t-1)*b*r + u(i,t)
(4) This is the constrained version of the following model
y(i,t) =r*y(i,t-1) + x(i,t)*b + x(i,t-1)*c + u(i,t)
You can try
xtreg CONT L.CONT L(0/1).(AIRFORCE ARMY NAVY
L2_UNEMP L2_WAR L2ADD_PA L2_RETUR), fe level(90)
and compare the results with your sentence (-xtregar...-). If they
are similar, then the initial observations are irrelevant and you can
estimate
xtreg CONT L.CONT L2.CONT L(0/2).(AIRFORCE ARMY NAVY
L2_UNEMP L2_WAR L2ADD_PA L2_RETUR), fe level(90)
Also, note that Mark Schaffer's suggestion involves only change
the standard errors (the coefficient will be the same as -xtreg..., fe-
without lags). You can use his -xtivreg2- to create this corrected
standard errors.
The procedure behind -xtregar..., fe- is lag dependent variable plus
fixed effects which is known to be biased. The bias is small for large T
(above 10). The standard way to deal with is using Arellano-Bond
procedure (-xtabond- or -xtabond2-) which solve this model in first
differences using Instrumental Variables (any AR(p)).
I hope this helps you.
Rodrigo.

For some reason the stata listserv is posting my reply. Can you help me out
per my reply below?
Thanks,

Rodrigo,
Can you outline how to do either of the things you mention (I'm a neophyte
when it comes to Stata, basic regression is all I know). After pulling in
my data I set the panel data by doing this:
tsset RANK2 YEAR, yearly
Then I run the panel AR(1) disturbance model by doing this:
xtregar CONT AIRFORCE ARMY NAVY L2_UNEMP L2_WAR L2ADD_PA L2_RETUR, fe
rhotype(dw) level(90) lbi
How do I use the ARIMA function or run the unrestricted model?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Derren

Someone suggested that you can use -arima- in panel data
using the option conditional.
In addition, you can run the unrestricted model (losing 2 times
# of cross-sectional observations) -xtreg y L(1/2).y L(0/2).x, fe-

I use both EViews and Stata. I don't think you can correct for
serial correlation at more than one lag in Stata.
I'd be extremely interested if anyone on the list knows better. If
so, please let us both know exactly how to do this.
Maj. Burrell, why don't you use EViews? Although Stata is a great
program, the learning costs certainly are lower with EViews.
