My robust standard error estimates where much less than the original
estimates. For instance the coefficient T was estimated as -.015 and the
original standard error was .0541, while the robust standard error is
.0034. This is more than a 10 fold decrease, while what I could find in
the literature suggested that robust standard errors are usually larger
than the original standard errors.
