Re: st: xtreg, fe and xtlogit, fe

[Nick Sanders <sandersn@stanford.edu>]

Hello Natasha,

Different models (e.g. OLS vs. nonlinear models) can get different results, and I can't claim a deep understanding about how xtlogit works, but part of the difference could be driven by something as simple as your standard error specification. In the xtreg model, your standard errors are "robust", which for xtreg translates to clustered standard errors (if I remember correctly). As the xtlogit specification isn't doing any standard error correction.

Best,
Nick
