Re: st: Random effects time invariant residuals

[Xavier Mas <xavier.mas.manez@gmail.com>]

Hi Maarten,

Thanks for your help. I confirm I am using xtreg postestimation.
Following your suggestion I have had a look at the section Methods and
Formulas, where I have learnt that the postestimation commands are
implemented as ado-files.  I deduct from this that I need to look into
the corresponding ado-file. I will try that route and if I got stuck I
will shout again.

Thanks a lot,

Xavier
