RE: st: Regression by industry and year excluding firm i

["Abdalla, Ahmed" <ahmed.abdalla@kcl.ac.uk>]

I forgot to mention that I have a total of 95,000 observations. After 45 minutes, I enforced STATA to stop(break) and I realized that some values have been reported in b0 to b6.. I am not sure if this is normal ? Do you think that the code should be OK ? also do I need to write } } } (three times) at the end. I believe that you closed each loop above, so why do you write this again at the end.

Many thanks

Expected core earnings for firm i is estimated using the coefficients multiplied by the actual values of variables in the model for firm i.

Do you mean something like this:


webuse grunfeld,clear
gen invest_hat  = .
levelsof company, local(levels)
foreach l of local levels {
   reg invest mvalue kstock if company != `l'
   predict fitted if company == `l'
   replace invest_hat = fitted if company == `l'
   drop fitted
}
