Subject   st: Problems with HAUSMAN after XTIVREG, RE
Date   Sun, 18 Sep 2005 19:30:59 +0100

Dear all,

I am using xtivreg to estimate a random effects panel data model.  I
have one endogenous variable and one excluded instrument.  In order to
test for endogeneity, I am using the Hausman test with the sigmamore
option. When I do this, the Hausman test says that V_b-V_B is not
positive definite.

I would like to know your thoughts on the following:
1- What can be done to correct this?
2- Is there an "xtivreg2"?

Thank you for your help,

Joana

I enclose the output:
