Thanks Scott
I thought about checking the confidence interval, but I thought they are
always >0.
About using the ICC to evaluate the model: does it mean if a model with an
additional parameter (random effect) fits better, then the random components
are all significant?

an xtmixed command
There's not a consensus regarding the nature, form, and effectiveness of
single parameter tests for variance components. With that caution in mind,
you can examine the confidence interval to see if it contains 0--to get a
rough idea regarding the rejection of the null. A better method is to
evaluate/compare models using the deviance statistic along with changes in
ICC as you systematically build and evaluate your models.
