Dear Michael,

Thank you for your kind assistance. follow the recommended commands on FAQs, and your suggestion, i run this test in stata. the result is however a little weird. the value of df is large (620), and Prob > chi2 =    1.0000. Can i just conclude that my panel data is not exposed to heteroskedasticity from this result? or there still exists some problem in the process? Thanks!

Jing

Dear Jing

   Based on your example, it looks like you could do this...

. xtgls..., igls panels (heteroskedastic)
. estimates store hetero
. xtgls...
. display e(N_g)-1

   The last command will show, I believe, the number of groups minus 1. It looks like your 
example uses this for the degrees of freedom. Say that number was 157. You could then type

. lrtest hetero ., df (157)

   and it looks like it would use 157 as the df. I am out of my element here, so I trust 
that someone else will correct me if I am off base. But I hope this helps.
