Cottrell:
BTW, I see
that Stata is very restrictive in this department. With "predict"
after "xtreg" you can't get an out of sample forecast even in the
time dimension when no time dummies are present -- other than
plain "xb" which omits individual effects, whether fixed or
random.
Well for small-T (standard micro panel assumption) the unit effects
are not well estimated, are they? That might be the reason they ban
it. (And probably a good reason.)
