" The number of observations stays same at n =69, whether the data are
weighted or not"
Really? The nobs displayed by -ssc d outreg2- jump to 74 for me w/o the
weighting:
***********
sysuse auto, clear
reg price weight length /*[iw=rep78] */
outreg2 using myfile, replace sum
***********

Ali is wrong. -outreg2- does indeed output weighted coefficients.
The number of observations stays same at n =69, whether the data are
weighted or not; perhaps that is why he thinks that the results are
not weighted.
