st: cross-model testing on panel data

[Elissa Braunstein <Elissa.Braunstein@colostate.edu>]

Hello,

Many thanks in advance for any ideas on the following.

I am using US state-level time series data on factors determining  
male versus female employment, and I am trying to test (1) whether  
splitting the data up this way is warranted and (2) whether there are  
significant differences between the estimated coefficients of the two  
models. Turning to suest, it seems that xtregress-type commands don't  
support the score option. Is this right and can you suggest any  
alternatives?

Cheers,
Elissa
