Sure. On of my regression command is:
xi:xtreg aQ rds fyage lassets sp de i.year, fe i(id) r cl(year) nonest
The stata output is at the end of this message.

est2tex gives rds three stars, not two stars. The author Marc-Andreas
Muendler kindly explained that "The stars option is based on the
assumption of normally distributed standard errors. The code uses
t-distributed errors to assess significance, not the p-values." But I
am still puzzled. My regressions include fixed effects, and use robust
standard deviation with cluster options.  But the estimated output
still shows t and P>|t|. Doesn't stata calculate p value based on t
distributions? Anyway, the bottom line is, I should add the stars
according to p-values reported in stata output, right?

Thank you!

Hi Yun,

You're right concerning the significance of the parameters.
Could you please show us the command and the results you have?
I find it strange because because est2tex works well with my estimations.

Hi, I have a question regarding significance levels.

In my understanding, p value in the regression output indicates the
two-sided significance level. If p<0.01, the estimated coefficient is
significant at 1%; if p<0.05, 5%; if p<0.1, 10%.

I use est2tex and specify levels(90 95 99). However, estimates with p
value 0.013 and 0.023 both receive three stars.

Am I missing something? Thank you!

Yun
