Hi everyone.
I have the same problem. When I use the xtmixed command, Why obtain a sd(_cons) from the random intercept (or second level) which differs greatly from the sigma_u of the xtreg command? I´m sure that my syntaxis is not wrong because first I had run a null model (without covariates) and as a coesequence both commands gives me the same coefficients, std, sigma_u, sigma_e, sd(_cons) and sd(residual). However, in a second model (model with covariates), I ran the same data but it reports me a simga_u = 0 (and also rho = 0) and the xtmixed command reports an sd(_cons) from the second level different from. Why it is happening? Thanks in advance for your help.
