Re: st: How to 'predict' constant by region?

Dear statalist users,
I was wondering if anybody encountered the following problem:
when I run the following code, I need to save constants for different regions:
by region: reg migration q1 q2 q3
by region: gen constant=_b[_cons]
However, I get the same constant for all regions.
Can anybody give me a hint?
With the 2nd by command, you are not rerunning all the separate
regressions. Instead, the gen command just picks up the constant for
the last region's regression.
You could use the -statsby- command. Or, do something like
gen constant = .
levelsof region, local(levels)
foreach levl of local levels {
reg migration q1 q2 q3 if region == `levl'
replace constant=_b[_cons] if region == `levl'
}
I think there are some other handy utilities for such tasks but I
forget what they are.
