Scott/Michael,

Many thanks to both of you for your helpful (and generous) responses. I'm
sure you'll understand if I report back to you in one.

Starting with Michael's solution first, I tried to run this, following him
to the letter:

. do "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings\Temp\STD01000000.tmp"

. tempvar  e xbgls nindg sigg arg perg

. tempname sig sumg LR

. bys `1': gen `nindg'=_N
varlist required
r(100);

end of do-file
r(100);

I'm not sure what to say about this. I did consider swapping n for N, but
this didn't seem appropriate given the contents of the rest of the code.

By way of contrast, Scott's solution worked perfectly, sic.:

Cross-sectional time-series FGLS regression

Coefficients:  generalized least squares
Panels:        heteroskedastic
Correlation:   panel-specific AR(1)

Estimated covariances      =       576        Number of obs      =      2840
Estimated autocorrelations =       576        Number of groups   =       576
Estimated coefficients   =         2          Obs per group: min =         3
                                                             avg =  4.930556
                                                             max =         6
                                              Wald chi2(1)       =   1635.92
Log likelihood           = -8031.751          Prob > chi2        =    0.0000

Testing for Groupwise heteroscedasticity

Ho: homoscedasticity
H1: groupwise heteroscedasticity by pano
chi2 (575)  =    543.80
Prob>chi2 =      0.8205

No prizes for guessing which solution I prefer. Thanks once again.

Now to tackle the problem of autocorrelation in my -xtgls- models, which
I'm still finding regardless of whether I use -c(p)- or -c(a). Any
contributions gratefully received.
