    How would you suggest I run this panel data analysis? Thank you in advance!

    Micheline:
    welcome to this forum.
    Some comments about your query;
    1) are you dealing with a N (cross-sectional dimension) >T (time-series dimension) panel or the other way round?
    2) the estimators you mention are not "one size fits all" tools;
    3) your concern about the results you got should not lead your research approach. Once the methological approach is correct, results are what they are and should be presented as such.
    Kind regards,

      I presume you're an economist (although correct me if I'm wrong). Also, as Carlo stated, specifying whether N>T is very important as this will influence our responses concerning standard error estimation methods. How many countries and time periods do you have?

      In any case I would run a baseline two-way fixed effects (with unit and time fixed effects) with clustered standard errors and then take it from there.

      Then you could move to GMM if you have reason to believe that your dependent variable is dynamic.

        Thank you for your response. My data is T>N. And what do you mean with the "one size fits all" tools, is there any way I can solve this?

          MIcheline:
          I meant that -xtreg- and -xtgls- are different beasts.
          For T>N panel datasets, Stata -xt- suite offers -xtgls- and -xtregar-, that differ from each other especially as far as the standard error options are concerned.
          Kind regards,

            Seen as T>N, if T is very very large (tending to infinity) then potentially xtscc (Hoechle, 2007) would be interesting

              Wait, stop. This is confusing. Let's start from the very beginning shall we?

              What question are you studying? What is the research question you're investigating? Before we talk modeling and sexy statistical ninjutsu, let's talk about the context and question you're interested in. All I see so far is country/ year panel data, but I've no context as to what you're doing with this.
