RE: st: RE: Ratio of coefficients from two regressions and standard error‏.

Thanks for your reply. One more question -- how to use  Fieller's theorem  and derive confidence limits using stata in this case?

> On the assumption that the two regression coefficient estimates have a Normal distribution, their ratio would have a Cauchy distribution (with no defined variance) if their correlation is zero.  If the correlation is non-zero the exact distribution is complicated, though under certain conditions it tends to a Normal distribution.

I want to estimate the ratio of two coefficients from these two regressions respectively along with the standard error of the ratio. How can I estimate the ratio and standard error?
