Re: st: puzzling sqreg behavior, possible solution
Thanks to Austin Nichols for the solution. Using the stable option
with sort does the trick. In my code, above the sqreg, I actually had
bysort treat: sum x*;
If one were to rewrite this as
sort treat, stable;
by treat: sum x*;
the bootstrapped errors would be identical each time you ran the do-file.
