These are abbreviations for the fixed effects and between-groups 
estimators, for use in the GUI model table.  (Comparable to other 
abbreviations such as "OLS", "MLE" and so on.)

Some observable variable: when you call for descriptive statistics 
on a variable in a panel dataset you get the "global" standard 
deviation as usual, but you also get the "within" and "between" 
standard deviations.
