Thank you very much for your answer. I understand this is one way to implement this test, but as I said in the first post this method (regressing the DV on all covariates + attrition dummy + interactions of attrition dummy and covariates) will give the difference between the coefficients of the attritors and non-attritors. 

I am interested in comparing the coefficients of non-attritors with the entire baseline sample (attritors+non-attritors). The goal is to see whether the non-attritors are representative of the full population or not. 

I think this is what Becketti et al. do in their paper where they present the test, but that other papers have used the "interactions" method (I think it's all correct, but it's just not interpreted the same way). 

Thank you, 

Julia

The paper:

http://www.chronicpoverty.org/uploads/publication_files/CPRC%20TOOLKIT%20NOTE%20ON%20ATTRITION-revfinal.pdf

has Stata code on pages 6 and 7 for BGLW test.  Also a do-file is available at:
