Priscila--
I would not claim that the use of dummy variables is really the only
way to perform the test you want in Stata; but it's the most
straightforward way most of the time. My point was only that a phrase
like "the regression doesn't run" is unlikely to elicit helpful
responses, unless you relate the specific error messages or
constraints you are hitting. I mentioned two ways to relax a
constraint (more memory; Stata MP) but it is not clear to me that
either would help, in the absence of more info about why "the
regression doesn't run." However, I will note that you might need a
64-bit version of Stata to use more memory.

Thanks, Austin.
I am currently using Stata 9.2 SE for Linux on a 32 bits processor and
have 2.5 gb of ram memory available. My model doesn't run in this
particular machine. It might be the case that if I use another
architecture the model will run.
So, Austin - do you mean that the use of dummy variables is really the
only way to perform the test I want in Stata?
