This kind of thing is not my territory at all, but I wondering if
fitting models in which x1+x2+x3 were summed to be a single predictor
would make this easier.

thank you very much for your help. I am trying to assess whether a sum
of
three coefficients from a given model (fixed effexts model, as suggested
by
xtoverid) is the same in two different two-samples. I have just tried
the
command -suest- suggestd by John, using - reg- instead of xtreg and
allowing
for fixed effects with dummies (id). Please find below the lines I wrote
xi: reg y x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 i.time i.id if D==0
estimates store zero
xi: reg y x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 i.time i.id if D==1
estimates store one
suest zero one
test
[zero_mean]x1+[zero_mean]x2+[zero_mean]x3=[one_mean]x1+[one_mean]x2+[one
_mean]x3
