Dear Stata listservers:
I would like to recover the residuals after an xtpcse estimation using the
Stata command "predict". However, I am unable to do so because xtpcse does
not allow "predict varname, residuals" as a post-estimation command after
xtpcse. I could get the predicted values and compute the residuals as the
difference between the dependent variable and the predicted values but I
wondered if anyone had written an ado file in order to perform this step.
More to the point, I am interested in using the residuals in order to test
for serial correlation in a panel model with fixed effects estimated with
panel corrected standard errors using xtpcse. Wooldridge (2002, p. 275) lays
out a method for doing this in a panel model with fixed effects. Has anyone
written an ado file to perform this test? The test is somewhat different
than the existing xtserial which assumes that the dependent variable is
first differenced and follows Wooldridge (2002, p. 282-3).
With all best wishes and many thanks! Lucy
