Max, Rodrigo,

Just a brief addendum to Rodrigo's 4th option:

-xtivreg2- will do this.  The fixed effects are handled automatically,
as is the dof adjustment.  However, you need respectable number of
periods for this to work, since the asymptotics require t to go to
infinity.  The alternative is cluster-robust standard errors, which are
robust to arbitrary autocorrelation and which will work with any number
of periods (since the asymptotics require only the number of cross
sections to go to infinity).  -xivreg2- will do this too.  -findit
xtivreg2- will find it for you.

Cheers,
Mark
