Right; thanks for the clarification, Mark. Maybe I was not clear enough, but if one model is nested in the other, then one makes a restriction (that the L2 predictors do not correlate with the constant effect), which gives the overid interpretation. The reason why I talked about this is that I thought that Muhammad was thinking that he need to have instruments (where he said that he did not "pretest it for overidentification").

BTW, the paper I cited below is a real eye opener because it show just how many restrictions are in these models (for those who are interested):

Bollen, K. A.,&  Brand, J. E. (2010). A General Panel Model with Random and Fixed Effects A Structural Equations
Approach. Social Forces, 89(1), 1-34.

Best,
J.

John, Muhammad,

The test of fixed vs. random effects (also) has an overid test
interpretation.  The FE estimator uses the moment conditions
E(x_it*e_it)=0.  The RE estimator uses, in addition, the moment
conditions E(x_it*u_i)=0.  That's what makes it overidentified and an
overid test possible.

There is a short discussion and some references in the xtoverid help
file.

Cheers,
Mark

You don't need to be overidentified to use xtoverid.  The
command in fact tests a constraint that is made, which nests
the random and fixed-effects models (i.e., the constraint
that is made to the random effects model is that level 2
regressors do not correate with uj).

To get a better handle on what types of constraints are made
in these types of models see:

Bollen, K. A.,&  Brand, J. E. (2010). A General Panel Model
with Random and Fixed Effects A Structural Equations

HTH,
John.

Thanks Eric!

It did worked for me. I actually run the regressions without
pretesting it for any overidentification. Can I still follow any
procedure selecting one of the FE and RE using over
identified panel
data regressions.

The Hausman test for fixed vs  random is only valid under
a strict set of assumptions. These assumptions are clearly
not satisfied in your case .
Use -xtoverid-. Download it from ssc: -ssc install
xtoverid- and read the help file first.

Subject: st: Hausman Test Problems

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:
