Hi Dolores,

Thanks for the info.  But when I mean correlation between panels I 
mean that the errors for unit i are correlated with the errors for 
unit j.  I am assuming that the errors are independent across time 
i.e. no autocorrelation.

Do you know how to do this in a fixed effects framework?  I was 
thinking of using xtgls with a dummy of ones for each different unit 
to capture the fixed effects, but was hoping that there might be a 
better way.

Thanks.
Ash.
