Inconsistent Hausman test results

[Anuradha Saikia]

I got the following result in Hausman test, What should i do and how do i proceed?

                           b = consistent under Ho and Ha; obtained from xtreg
            B = inconsistent under Ha, efficient under Ho; obtained from xtreg

    Test:  Ho:  difference in coefficients not systematic

                  chi2(5) = (b-B)'[(V_b-V_B)^(-1)](b-B)
                          =  -118.84    chi2<0 ==> model fitted on these
                                        data fails to meet the asymptotic
                                        assumptions of the Hausman test;
                                        see suest for a generalized test

Anuradha:
this annoying behaviour of -hausman- is really frequent.
You may want to try the community-contributed modules -rhausman- (-search rhausman-) or -xtoverid- (-search xtoverid-).
