Dear All!

I have run a panel data regression and selection of the random effects
or fixed effects using Hausman test. I do not know what is the actual
problem with my results. Please could someone help. Why the result for
my hausman command results in warning message?
the complete results are below:

Fixed-effects (within) regression               Number of obs      =       850

b = consistent under Ho and Ha; obtained from xtreg
B = inconsistent under Ha, efficient under Ho; obtained from xtreg

Test:  Ho:  difference in coefficients not systematic

chi2(2) = (b-B)'[(V_b-V_B)^(-1)](b-B)
=   -15.59    chi2<0 ==> model fitted on these
data fails to meet the asymptotic
assumptions of the Hausman test;
see suest for a generalized test
