Re: st: How to test whether coefficient change between two models significant

[John Antonakis <John.Antonakis@unil.ch>]

Hi:

A Hausman test could be used for this. Assuming B is consistent you'd 
simply do, e.g.:

webuse auto
reg price mpg
est store eff
reg price mpg weight
est store con
hausman con eff, sigmamore

HTH,
J.
