Thank you so much!

I was wondering how I am going to program with the degree of freedom
adjustment as Mark just pointed out too.

Very much appreciate your help!



Alice

There is a degrees-of-freedom adjustment to be made. Here is an example
that shows how that is done. Here I am primarily interested in the
coefficient, and the standard error of that coefficient, of the
independent variable "length":

  clear
  sysuse auto
  replace length=length/10
  tab head
  local df = r(r) - 1
  sort  head
  by head: egen mean  = mean(mpg)
  by head: gen newmpg = mpg-mean
  drop mean
  by head: egen mean  = mean(len)
  by head: gen newlen = len-mean
  drop mean

  regress newmpg newlen
  mat b=e(b)
  scalar vadj = e(df_r)/(e(N)-1-(e(df_m) + `df'))
  matrix V = vadj*e(V)

  cap program drop change
  program change, eclass
  eret post b V
  end
  change
  eret display
  xtreg mpg len, i(head) fe

You should find that the last two sets of results show the same
coefficient and standard error for "length".
