Dear Stata-listers,
I’m estimating a simple OLS with correction for intragroup correlation:
reg y x1 x2, cluster(race).
Now Stata reports estimated coefficient, SE, t–values and P>|t|. For example:
2.910862   1.303605     2.23   0.089
t-value of 2.23 means significant at 5%, at least according to a standard normal distribution table.  Significance level reported by Stata is, however, 8.9%. Why?
Thanks
Viktor
