thanks. 
When I enter the dummies in a multi-stage approach, rho is always zero, and stays zero throughout the adding of more dummies.
Is there another way to detect collinearity between the dummies and the constant term (such as pwcorr for the independent variables' correlation)?

Perhaps there's a problem with the specification of your equation regarding to the dummies variables: the variance of the estimation could be affected by a possible collinearity between dummies and the constant term as it's std. err is quite high. For bearing out this: What it happens to 'rho' if you include the dummies one by one (multi-stage)?

thanks. Here's the result of the xtdes command:


. xtdes

  number:  1, 2, ..., 67                                     n =         67
    year:  1995, 1996, ..., 2004                             T =         10
           Delta(year) = 1 unit
           Span(year)  = 10 periods
           (number*year uniquely identifies each observation)

Distribution of T_i:   min      5%     25%       50%       75%     95%     max
                        10      10      10        10        10      10      10

     Freq.  Percent    Cum. |  Pattern
---------------------------+------------
       67    100.00  100.00 |  1111111111
---------------------------+------------
       67    100.00         |  XXXXXXXXXX

. 
end of do-file





and here's the command line of the xtreg command:

xtreg AverChangeROEadj2 duration_change sicchange ukdum frendum lgcount_strategy mutdum lloylistdum lloynlistdum, re


(FYI- sicchange ukdum frendum lgcount_strategy mutdum lloylistdum lloynlistdum are all control dummies)

I would need further information. Please copy the result of the execution of the command xtdes and the command line of the regress..., re

Hi,

I run a random effects panel model of 64 subjects for 10 years each and have a question concerning the results: My output tells me that 0% of the variance of the dependent variable is between subjects and 100% is within subjects (rho).

I am not sure whether I understand the interpretation correctly, but I find this result a bit uncommon given that I test for a random effects model and my theory predicts a lot of variation between my subjects. 

Could there by any mistake in the analysis?
Thanks,
Pat
