A random intercept model as estimated by xtmixed, allows for variation
across entities that is constant over time. If you want random
contributions that vary randomly across time and across entities, and
are uncorrelated with the level-1 or level-2 predictors, those are the
idiosyncratic error terms in this model. David Greenberg, Sociology
