// fit the full model first
xtlogit y x1 x2 etc...
est store full
// fit the reduced model on the estimation sample of the full model
xtlogit y x1 etc... if e(sample)
lrtest full
You probably have cases that are missing on one or more of the
additional variables in the full model, which have full information on
all the variables in the reduced model.
