The -cnsreg- approach is numerically identical to generating the new
variable x as suggested in ronggui's original post, but looks rather
more complicated to me.
The only error in ronggui's original code seems to be in the
specification of the two -reg- commands, which should be:
reg y x1 x2 x3
reg y x
These two models are nested.

First,I get the first model by:
reg y x1 x2 x2 x3
then I want to test if _b[x1]=_b[x2]=_b[x3], Can I achieve it by the
following codes?
gen x=x1+x2+x3
reg y x1 x2 x2 x3
est store A1
reg y x1 x
lrtest A1 .
Are model A1 and . nested? and Is this test valid?
Thanks.

Maybe you could use constrained regression (-help constraint- and -help
cnsreg-) or just do a Wald test (-help test-). They both seem to arrive
at
the same conclusion in the example below.
