Galina,
you need to use a loop in this case.
gen constant = .
levelsof region, local(reg)
foreach r of local reg {
regress migration q1 q2 q3 if region==`r'
replace constant = _b[_cons] if region==`r'
}
This code assumes that region is a numeric variable. I will work for
strings, but you'd have add quotes where necessary.
Hope this helps,
Eva
