I daresay your -if- statement is always true.

The poster wants to exclude when x = y, not d`x'=ls`y'. So

 if "`x'"!="`y'" {

 }

Same correction as Jeph indicated earlier.

You want

if "d`x'" != "ls`y'""

No, it does not work, because Stata does not recognise BE, the name of
the variable is dBE, but if I say "if d`x' != d`y'", I obtain the same
error message. I have tried "if d`x' != ls`y'" and "if ls`x' != ls`y'"
as well, and I obtain the same error


2013/4/17 Jeph Herrin <[email protected]>:
foreach x in BE DE ES FR GB US {
   foreach y in BE DE ES FR GB US {
      if "`x'"!="`y'" {

          xi: probit d`x' ls`y' i.d10_comp
          outreg2 using "D:\UsersData\Estrella\results\probit_`x'-`y'.xls",
bdec(4) se replace
      }
   }

Hi,

I am trying to run 36 probits using this loop:

foreach x in     BE    DE  ES   FR    GB    US  {
foreach y in BE    DE  ES   FR    GB    US {
xi: probit d`x' ls`y' i.d10_comp
outreg2 using "D:\UsersData\Estrella\results\probit_`x'-`y'.xls",
bdec(4) se replace
}
}

However, in those cases in which x and y coincides (for instance, xi:
probit dBE lsBE i.d10_comp), I obtain the error message "no
observations".
How could I write this loop for excluding those cases?

Thank you very much,
Estrella
