thanks mark,
i gave a look at the FAQ's, but they refer to the difference between xtgls and OLS with robust cluster() option...
i had a doubt related to the difference between xtgls, p(h) and Random effect estimator with the robust cluster option...
is there any difference? that is..
is there any difference between running xtgls, p(h) and xtreg, re robust cluster()??
thanks a lot...

dear all,
i am using panel data; i have a question on gls and robust
command. do you know what is the difference between using
xtgls, p(hetero), that is groupwise heteroskedasticity, and
using xtreg, re robust with or without the cluster() option?
You might want to check the FAQs.  The following one is helpful and I
think indirectly answers your question:

In both case, the estimator used should be the GLS, but I do
not understand what is the difference between using the two
different commands (xtgls, p(h) or xtreg, re robust).
the coefficients given by the two approaches, indeed, results
different, sometimes only slightly, but most of the time the
difference quite substantial.
thanks a lot..
