st: re: inference on coefficients

Ben says

When I use Random effects linear models with and AR(1) disturbance
estimation, I got:

1. dropped constant
2.      rho_ar | -.085  (estimated autocorrelation coefficient)
     sigma_u |          0
     sigma_e | 348.752509
       rho_fov |          0   (fraction of variance due to u_i)



I don't know what command Ben has used; -xtreg- will not estimate a  
model with an AR(1) correction. Was this output from -xtregar-? If  
so, which option was used to define the nature of the AR(1) process?

Per the Statalist FAQ, you should spell out what you said and what  
Stata said in response.
