supposing vara is the constant (which constitutes the base dummy) and
it is insignificant but the varb is the dummy included in the
regression which is significant, can you still go ahead with lincom?

and if you can, then supposing I go ahead with lincom vara+varb and
the resulting test statistics is insignificant, can I go ahead then
concluding that varb is insignificant and drop the same from the
regression?
