A possibility would be to use parmby and metaparm, both of which are
modules of the parmest package, downloadable from SSC using the ssc
command in Stata. In Stata, type

ssc desc parmest

to find the latest version of the parmest package, and

ssc install parmest, replace

to install the package.

The parmby module can be used to create an output dataset (or
resultsset) with one observation per parameter per year, and data on the
parameter estimates, standard errors, degrees of freedpm, confidence
intervals, P-values, and other parameter attributes. If you drop the
intercepts, then the slopes will remain. The metaparm module can then
input this dataset of regression slopes, and output a new dataset (or
resultset), containing the mean regression slope with its confidence
limits and P-values. The on-line help for the parmest package contains
web-accessible references for further information.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Roger

Hi,

I'm using the code below for year-by-year regressions in a panel. Is  
there some possibility to calculate the means of the regression  
coefficients conveniently in STATA? And also the t-statistics for the  
means?
(Would that mean to create a variable from the coefficients first or  
is there a direct approach?)

forvalues year = 1964/1996 {
       reg Y_A V_A DD D_BE if year == `year'
}

Thanks
