st: question concerning xtreg & xtivreg2

[Borg80@web.de]

Hello. I have a question regarding the stata commands "xtreg" and "xtivreg2" using the "fe"-option. The regression-outputs below show the same coefficients but slightly different standard-errors. Even if these differences are very small in my case I wonder about the reason. Does it have to do with the missing constant? Very much thanks for your help.
