I have estimated fixed, random, hybrid, and correlated random effects models following Reinhard Schunck's article "Within and between estimates in random-effects models: Advantages and drawbacks of correlated random effects and hybrid models." However, when I run the Hausman test, I get some dots in the right-most column in the following result. My panel data has 50 clusters and 17 periods and is strongly balanced.
Any advice would be appreciated.
However, I do not get these dots when I run fe and re-models before the Hausman test without including the year-fixed effects. See the following results:
Does anyone know why I am getting these dots? I am not sure whether the information I provide is sufficient to understand my problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

Any advice would be appreciated.
