Galina,

you need to use a loop in this case.

gen constant = .
levelsof region, local(reg)

foreach r of local reg {
   regress migration q1 q2 q3 if region==`r'
   replace constant = _b[_cons] if region==`r'
}

This code assumes that region is a numeric variable. I will work for
strings, but you'd have add quotes where necessary.

Hope this helps,
Eva
