Hi there,

I am using a panel data set to investigate the link between inequality and growth.

But I am getting the exact same results for fixed effects, random effects and pooled OLS and have no idea why?! Seems very strange to me.

I have attached photos to show my regression results (for some reason stata was not letting me use ssc install dataex to download example!)

Sigm_u is coming up as zero for random effects (not shown in images). I understand this means there is a negative bias which makes pooled OLS and random effects the same but I would not expect this to make the fixed effects results the same?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
