Hmmm...I did try bootstrapping it using the bootstrap cluster() option and got somewhat different results, which was on reason why I was wondering about the sampling used for vce(bootstrap).  I will try to get my hands on a manual and figure out if it specifies the sampling strategy.  Thanks for your help.

Jennifer--
I don't have a manual handy, but I believe the approach is to sample
panels (thus, strings of time series corresponding to the whole panel,
in your parlance) with replacement, much as the cluster option on
-bootstrap- does.  Also note
(from update 06oct2006)
1. areg with option vce(bootstrap) or vce(jackknife) resampled
observations instead of the groups identified by the absorb()
variable. This has been fixed.

Does it use a "block bootstrap" method, i.e., drawing strings of time series from within the i() variable?  If so, how long of a block does it draw? If not, how is it dealing with serial correlation?  Thanks in advance for your insights.  Best, Jennifer
