Okay, great. Its working. Thanks! I suppose there are other bits of
code I could add to get additional test results from the -xtoverid -
-robust noisily- options.. I am thinking the endogeneity test for the
FE regression. Also, I'd like to get the weak and underidentification
instrument tests for the FE and RE robust. Those might take a bit more
programming I suppose. Actually, why isn't RE available for xtivreg2?
Ciao,
Steve
