Take your cue from the example in Baum (2006),
http://www.stata-press.com/books/imeus.html, chapter 9, where the decrease
in the overall R2 is also present (although the word "huge" is debatable):


*************
u http://www.stata-press.com/data/imeus/traffic, clear

xtreg fatal beertax spircons unrate perincK, fe

quietly tabulate year, generate(yr)
local j 0
quietly forvalues i=82/87 {
	local ++j
	rename yr`j' yr`i'
	replace yr`i' = yr`i' - yr7
}
drop yr7

xtreg fatal beertax spircons unrate perincK yr*, fe

Betreff: st: R2 in a regression with time and fixed effects

Dear Statalist,
 
I ran a regression (xtreg command) with fixed effects (for 60 groups). I
then included time effects by putting a dummy for each year (7 years). I
notice that the R2 (overall) decreases hugely. 
 
I wonder if it is reasonable. Does it depend on the way the R2 overall is
computed with the xtreg command?
 
Thanks a lot, 
 
Andrea
