st: Computing stats for fixed effects model after xtreg, fe

I have just read a very helpful paper by Tom Clark and Drew Linzer, entitled "Should I Use Fixed or Random Effects?" The authors recommend to first fit a fixed effects model and to then compute the correlation between the estimated unit effects and the within-unit means of the independent variable. Do you have any suggestions about how to compute this correlation in STATA after xtreg, fe?
The unit effect captures the amount by which predictions of the dependent variable in a unit (panel) must be adjusted upward or downward, given knowledge only of the independent variables.
