Dear Garret

  I wonder if this example does the trick...

. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)

. sureg (mpg  weight) (mpg weight length)

Seemingly unrelated regression
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation          Obs  Parms        RMSE    "R-sq"       chi2        P

2mpg               74      2    3.389422    0.6521     142.45   0.0000

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

. lincom  [mpg]weight - [2mpg]weight

 ( 1)  [mpg]weight - [2mpg]weight = 0

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Or you can use the -test- command...

. test [mpg]weight == [2mpg]weight

 ( 1)  [mpg]weight - [2mpg]weight = 0

           chi2(  1) =    0.05
         Prob > chi2 =    0.8156

Hope this helps,

I imagine this is fairly simple--I'd like to test the equality of the coefficients on a variable in two slightly different models. Imagine doing reg y x1 and then reg y x1 x2, and I'd like to test whether _b[x1] (from the first model)=_b[x1] (from the second model). I saw the FAQ page http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/testing.html, but I don't think it works in this case.

thanks,
