Dear Verkulien,

Thank you for your advising lr test, I have performed that,as also
Andre suggested, and it works.
Regarding the observations dropped because zero outcomes, it was not a
huge concern however it represents about 30% of country-pairs. If I
perform xtnbreg, re, an excerpt of the output is as follows. Do you
think it is plausible and convincing use a random effects instead?
I take the oportunity to ask you whether there is any way, under
xtnbreg, fe,re model, to obtain clustered/robust standard errors?

I would appreciate for any help. Thansk you.
Mário
