Re: st: Cross-section regression with fixed effects

[Stuart Buck <stuartbuck@gmail.com>]

If you want to use dummy variables for the banks (i.deudor), that is the
exact same thing as fixed effects, so I don't think you need to do anything
else to create fixed effects.

In other words, I think your code should possibly be

xi: reg depvar indepvars i.deudor, vce(cluster deudor)
