Hello all,

I am running a simple fixed effects regression manually using dummy
variables in OLS with clustered standard errors.  I need to figure out a
way to find a sort of "global average" constant term.  That is, I have:

Y = bX + a2D2 + a3D3 + a4D4 + a5D5 (omitting dummy var #1)

stata code is:
reg y x dum2 dum3 dum4 dum5, cluster(year).

I know how to add the dummies to get each individual intercept, but I
want some way to find an intercept net of any dummy effects (including
the omitted dum1), along with proper standard errors.  Is this possible?

Thanks,
