As stated in the FAQ and mentioned several times on the list over the
last few months...
"Please do not assume that the literature familiar to you is familiar to
all members of Statalist. Do not refer to publications with just minimal
details (e.g., author and date). Questions of the form "Has anyone
implemented the heteroscedasticity under a full moon test of Sue,
Grabbit, and Runne (1989)?" admittedly divide the world. Anyone who has
not heard of the said test would not be helped by the full reference to
answer the question, but they might well appreciate the full reference."
Thus the full reference to the Zollner paper you mention would help
those whose interest has been piqued.
