Dear David.

I appreciate your help.

In Stata help I have read that using xtpcse one can assume only
panel-level heteroscedasticity (I understand heteroscedasticity
between groups). In my panel data there is also heteroscedasticty
within groups. How to deal with it?

Could you also explain me why xtgls is less proper than xtpcse?

In advance thank you very much for help.

Maria
