Deeper explanation: what's the sample size you want to plug in to
compute BIC? # of panels or the total # of observations? Or some
effective # in between? The AIC and BIC are derived as certain
asymptotic approximations for i.i.d. data. Their generalizations to
clustered/structured/hierarchical data are not straightforward, so it
makes perfect sense that Stata DOES NOT report them and thus protects
you from using unjustified methods.
