st: fixed vs random effect model

[amatoallah ouchen <at.ouchen@gmail.com>]

Good day Stata-listers,
I'm apoloziging is the question may seems elementary for many of you,
but i really need to check this before going on in my analysis. i'm
running a panel data regression and after performing the haussman test
the conclusion was that my model is a fixed effect one. The problem is
located on my explanatory variables which display week variations, and
as it is well known fixed effect model gives weak results in a such
case. So should 'i use the random effect instead???

Thanks a lot in advance.

Ama.
