Hi all,

This is my first time on the listserve, so I apologize if my post
isn't done correctly - please let me know. I am running an xtreg
regression for a fixed-effects model on panel data. I would like to
check whether all the OLS assumptions are ok and don't know which
commands to employ to test for what potential problems I could have in
my regression. I understand basic output results in terms of the box
but don't know which other results correspond to which OLS
assumptions. Thanks for your time. See results below:


Fixed-effects (within) regression               Number of obs      =     11385
Group variable: cntry_sector
  Number of groups   =      1265

R-sq:  within  = 0.0088                         Obs per group: min =         9
       between = 0.0422                                        avg =       9.0
       overall = 0.0058                                        max =         9

                                                F(18,10102)        =      4.99
corr(u_i, Xb)  = -0.6067                        Prob > F           =    0.0000
