st: Re: Hausman test

["Michael Blasnik" <michael.blasnik@verizon.net>]

Please read the online help file before posting a question -- the answer is 
there.  -help hausman- shows that you must name the consistent estimator 
first (then "efficient" estimator).  Therefore, if you want valid results 
you must specify the fixed effects estimator first (since it is the 
consistent estimator).
