Re: st: areg vs xtreg, fe
I have not seen this problem before. Can you post the necessary
subset of the data on the web somewhere, and post the code that
produces the problem on Statalist? Then we can just type something
like
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r9/grunfeld.dta
xtreg mval inv, i(com) fe
areg mval inv, abs(com)
to see the error message.
You might also -set trace on- to see where in the areg code the error
message is coming from.

However when I try the areg command it says that the matrix is not positive definite (I use also some lagged values of my variable of interests in the estimation).
