RE: st: 1st & 2nd order autocorrelation panel-data

["Schaffer, Mark E" <M.E.Schaffer@hw.ac.uk>]

Sigmund,

A couple of additional suggestions:

1.  -xtlsdvc-, by Giovanni Bruno and available from ssc archives in the
usual way, provides an alternative way of addressing the bias in panel
data models with a lagged dependent variable if you have only one lag on
the RHS.

2.  You haven't told us the dimensions of your panel data set.  The bias
problem with a lagged dep var is decreasing in T.  If T is "large", you
may be OK using lagged dep vars, and you can allow for autocorrelation
using -xtscc- or -xtivreg2- with the dkraay(#) option.

HTH,
Mark
