Thank you Kit for your reply. I have done the Hausman test and Wooldridge's robust Hausamn test, both suggest that RE is consistent. The confusion is if the country effects are random (as identified by BP test), still there is serial correlation in the errors. What is the econometric reason for it? If it is because of endogeneity, then why BP is saying the country effects are random and we assume that the eit is iid?
Kindly suggest any papers which explain the reasons in this context also. I shall be highly obliged.

But when I estimate serial scorrelation in the residuals there is serial correlation present. What should I do, it indicates endogeneity in the regressors? If yes why BP test is showing country effects are random? Confused?
