st: Error in using xttest2

Dear All,

I have a dynamic heterogeneous non-stationary unbalanced panel with N=14 and T=25 and several explanatory variables.

When I use xttest2 to test for cross-sectional dependence, STATA says that the test cannot be done as the "correlation matrix of residuals is singular."

If I use xtcsd instead it works but technically it is incorrect to use this as N is not greater than T for my sample.

Why does this happen and what should I do?

Many thanks,
Anirudh
