The reviewer might be referring to non-parametric techniques which are
more conservative (with small sample)--e.g., Mann-Whitney U test,
Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test, Quantile regression etc.
Bootstrap might also be useful. Also, the vce(robust) might be an option.

I am conducting a regression analysis. A reviewer of my paper found the
sample small (he /she was right numerically speaking but it is almost the
entire population) and suggested that I use small sample techniques. No
matter where I looked in standard econometrics textbooks there was no
reference. Any ideas please? Is bootstrap a possible answer?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
