Subject   st: Replication of panel-RE/FE Models with SEM
Date   Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:15:01 +0200

Hi everyone,

first, I am still using Stata 12.1

I want to reproduce Random and Fixed Effects Models for panel data with
structural equation models as described e.g. by Bollen/Brand (2008 -
http://www.escholarship.org/uc/item/3sr461nd). Unfortunately I do not
manage to get the same results from regular models with -xtreg (, fe)- and
sem. Are there any additional lines of code that I have to use in order to
make the sem command work or are there mistakes?

It would be great to hear back from you!
Florian

I have attached the Stata output from my .do-file:
