Say you are regressing log(wages) on age and education. Assume that
your wage variable is entitled "wage". You would type the following:
gen logwage=log(wage)
xi: reg logwage age educ
If you want Stata to compute standard errors that are robust to
heteroskedasticity:
xi: reg logwage age educ, robust
I'm assuming that your variable of interest is education, so any other
"control" variables can be listed alongside your variable of interest.
Cheers,
DON
