Dear Maarten,
I knew -sheafcoef- from your posting, thank you!
I followed what you typed. However, an error message "p1 not found r(111)" was caused.
For example,
    sysuse nlsw88, clear
    recode occupation (11/12=4) (9/10=13)
    gen ln_w = ln(wage)
    xi: reg ln_w i.occupation married never_married 

    sheafcoef, latent( _I* ; married never_married) post
    test p1=p2

What is wrong with my typing?

Thank you for any help.

Best regards,
Rose.

Yes. You can also specify the -post- option and actually test
whether these two coefficients are the same using the -test-
command. So something like:

sheafcoef, ///
latent( _Ihighested_2 _Ihighested_3 _Ihighested_4 ; ///
_IMothers_B_2 _IMothers_B_3 ) ///
post

test p1 = p2

Hope this helps,
Maarten
