Carlos,
Did you conclude that your hand-calculated LaGrange test was
appropriate? Did you find serial autocorrelation?
I'm grappling with the same problem. I seem to have serial correlation
using xtpcse with a lag (according to your hand calculated method) and
trying to figure out how to deal with it.
Thanks
Joel M.
