Yuesheng,

you are probably exporting your results to Excel, right? If so, then you
need either of the following two options: "nopa" or "brackets". 
The problem is that estout by default puts standard errors in
parentheses (std.err.) and when this is exported to Excel, it becomes
-std.err. This
is a convention in accounting that instead od negative values those are
put in parentheses. "nopa" will drop parentheses, and "brackets" will
put
berackets [...] instead of parentheses (...). Hopefully this helps.

Regards,
ivica

Hi folks,

  After I run the Poisson regression by "poisson", I use to estout to
calculate standard error of a term with the estimates of two parameters;
it turns out the standard error is negative. I am just wondering whether
the estout only works for one parameter; or I mess up with the code.

Any response is appreciated.

Best,

Yuesheng
