Factor variables: tables which include factor variables should use value labels (if they exist) to label the factors.

Often, I avoid using factor variables in models because the resulting output can be difficult to read. For instance, if -country- is an integer variable with labels denoting countries,

 regress y i.country

produces a table with a list of numbers for covariate names instead of the corresponding names of the countries. This has to be remapped manually back to the labels (right?). So I often generate my own dummies on the fly just so I can easily read (and share) the output.

Notably, I have to rerun with factor variables if I want to use -margins- afterwards, which indicates perhaps another feature that could be added to Stata 13.

cheers,
Jeph
