Could you explain what your advice is for Mandy? What could a spreadsheet
add to the solution for her problem?

Mandy Fu:
I'm running some panal data. So the commands I 'll use are something
like -xtreg , fe-, or -xtreg,re-. Since the beta coeffients
(standardized coefficients) are not an option for xtreg command, I
tried to standardize all the variables in the whole data set first
and then use the panel data methods on the standardized variables:
-------------
.local var y x1 x2 x3 x4
.egen new_`var'=std(`var')
.xtreg `var',fe
---------------
But the results are different from using the beta coefficients got
from an OLS regression adding dummy variables to indicate the group
variable i for the panel data.
-----------------------------------------
**dummy1,dummy2,..dummyn are the dummy vriables based on group i.
.reg y x1 x2 x3 x4 dummy*,b
-----------------------------------------
Could someone give me some hints why the results from these two ways
are different? Is it a correct way to get beta coefficents by
standardized variables first and then use the regular commands?
