Subject   st: xi: reg or xi: areg - yield different results in the constant term

Hi statalisters,


I wan to run a multivariate regression on panel data with dummy
variables which control for years & sectors. Some sectors repeat
multiple times in the same year (thus
I am not able to tsset this panel data set- Stata give me an error message).

To control for the year and sector (firm) effects I tried all of the
approaches below. In (1) I simply use dummies for years and sectors,
in (2) I absorb sectors, in (3) I absorb years.
My problem is that the "constant" , as well as its t-value  for each
of the three approaches is totally different (please see below). Why
is this? (Sorry, for this naive question but I am
extremely confused by this)? Shouldn't "areg XXXXXX, absorb()" yield
in the same results as xi with two dummy variables?

My second question:
Is there maybe any other method that I could use to absorb both year
and sector? My goal is actually not to show any of the regression
results for year AND sector.
I couldn't find anything on statalist.


(1) xi: reg CAR1 INSIDER_B INSIDER_C INSIDER_D MULTIPLE_TRADE
TRANSACTION_SIZE MARKET_CAPITALIZATION i.year i.sector , robust

(2) xi: areg CAR1 INSIDER_B INSIDER_C INSIDER_D MULTIPLE_TRADE
TRANSACTION_SIZE MARKET_CAPITALIZATION i.year, absorb(sector) robust

(3) xi: areg CAR1 INSIDER_B INSIDER_C INSIDER_D MULTIPLE_TRADE
TRANSACTION_SIZE MARKET_CAPITALIZATION i.sector, absorb(year) robust


Cheers,

Kaspar
