Subject   st: Panel FE vs. pooled OLS with demeaned variables

Dear Statalist,


I need to run a two-step regression similar to the fixed effect model.
(Xtreg, fe).

I first replicate the fixed effect results by running pooled OLS with
demeaned variables (demean by groups). Yet, I got same coefficients, but
relative larger t statistics.

I attached the results for the two approaches as follows. Any suggestion
will be appreciated.

Thanks,


Alice
