Yes, this is the idea. I studied -xthtaylor-, but I'm not sure if it's the
case. Probably I have to go back to it and study it better. Do you think it
could be the appropriate command?
Thanks,

Oggetto: Re: st: time invariant vars and fixed effects
Stefano Costalli <[email protected]>:
I think the approach is ill-advised, but you can
ssc inst fese
help fese
for a program to save estimated fixed effects and SEs from a FE
regression, then specify the SE as aweights in your second regression
(weighting the second step by the precision of the estimates from the
first step). The standard errors in the second regression will still
be wrong, so a Murphy-Topel correction [see SJ 6(4):521--529] or
-bootstrap- may be required.
Is this designed to recover a RE-type estimate? Presumably when
-hausman- rejects RE? You may want to try -xthtaylor- here instead.
