where model_options specify the estimator. The most common choices are:
Standard errors in panel regressions can easily be distorted by violations of classical assumptions. Heteroskedasticity xtreg y x1 x2 x3, fe estimates store

Often, data arrives in : | id | wage2015 | wage2016 | exp2015 | exp2016 | |----|----------|----------|---------|---------|
If your diagnostics reveal heteroskedasticity or serial correlation, standard OLS and standard xtreg errors are invalid. You must apply cluster-robust standard errors. This adjusts the variance-covariance matrix to allow for correlation within entities while keeping entities independent.
It assumes there is no unobserved individual heterogeneity correlated with your explanatory variables. If this assumption fails, the estimates suffer from omitted variable bias. Fixed Effects (FE) Model
