Re: st: re: Solving the moving average in the error structure in a panel data fe

[Carolina Lennon <carolina.lennon@gmail.com>]

Thank you for the your response!  as usual, it was very fast!

I have another question related to my previous email (see below).

You suggested to use "xtivreg2, fe with options  robust bw(5)"  in order to
obtain statistics robust to heteroskedasticity and to the autocorrelation
generated by the 4 lags in my overlaping sample (of data calculated using 5
years). I am currently using this method!!!

But now, I would like to correct the bias in the "estimates" (the
coefficients) generated by the MA error structure. I was wondering If I can
use xtslg. Though, xtslg has not the option bw(5) and I am not sure how to
set up the within panel correlations. In particular, I am not very sure how
to set up the  corr(corr) and  rhotype(calc) options. If you can advise me
in this respect I would really appreciate it!

Many thanks
Carolina
