Mark,
thanks a lot for your help! Yes, indeed, I am evaluting the same
model based on the xtreg, fe and areg, absorb, cluster and the
coefficients in both regressions are the same (i.e., as you have
explained the R2-within will be the same). But what about F-test? All
our t-values have changed (most of them became lower in the robust
model not higher!). How would I be able to re-calculate the F-test
for areg to be comparable with F-test from xtreg, fe?
Thanks again for all your suggestions,
Svetlana
