st: Different p-values in outreg2 and regression output

[itchiftc@rumms.uni-mannheim.de]

Hello all,

I'm using -outreg2- to export panel regression results in excel. I  
would like to have the p-values corresponding to each F-stat of each  
regression (-xtreg, fe-) as well as some other statistics. Thus, I  
wrote:

outreg2 [M1, M2, M3] using myfile.xls, e(N, r2_a, r2_w, r2_b, r2_o F, p)

Looking at the output, I found that the p-values listed in the  
exported file are not exactly the same as those directly in the  
regression. For example, in the Stata-regression output Prob>F=0.0022  
and in the exported file it is 0.00264. Yet, the F-stats are correct.  
Is it just a strange rounding convention or is there a logical  
explanation for this?

Thanks for any help!
Ida
