Hello everyone,

I am using a xtpoisson model, because I have a dependent count variable.
I want to do the hausman test to identify weather random or fixed effects are appropriate.

But when I run the command I get this error:

Command:
Code:
    local controls "fs lev rdi log_cum_ccount_l"
    xtpoisson ccit cvc `controls' i.fyear, fe  
    estimates store FE
    xtpoisson ccit cvc `controls' i.fyear, re 
    estimates store RE
    hausman FE RE
Error:
Code:
 hausman FE RE

Note: the rank of the differenced variance matrix (1) does not equal the number of coefficients being
        tested (14); be sure this is what you expect, or there may be problems computing the test.
        Examine the output of your estimators for anything unexpected and possibly consider scaling
        your variables so that the coefficients are on a similar scale.

                      b = Consistent under H0 and Ha; obtained from xtpoisson.
       B = Inconsistent under Ha, efficient under H0; obtained from xtpoisson.

Test of H0: Difference in coefficients not systematic

chi2(1) = (b-B)'[(V_b-V_B)^(-1)](b-B)
        = -0.00

Warning: chi2 < 0 ==> model fitted on these data
         fails to meet the asymptotic assumptions
         of the Hausman test; see suest for a
         generalized test.
Could anyone give me an advice what to do now?
Or is it simply okay to run this test with -xtreg-?


Kind regards,
