Hi all,
I am using the program below to complete industry level regressions and then
to apply the coefficiencts from the industry regressions to firms within each
industry in order to predict the level of TA. It works very well.
I am wondering if there is a way to imput the regression coefficents into my
data set as variables for each firm's observation in addition to or instead of
the predictions.
Alternately, can Stata use the coefficients from the first regression:
TA on REV PPE in a second regressioin: TA on (REV-AR) PPE. The model I am trying
to replicate changes between in first stage and second stage regressions.
Thanks in advance,
Mindy Nitkin
