I don't know why anybody would want to do a 1-tailed test, except if the
distribution of the test statistic, under the null hypothesis, really IS
one-tailed. However, you can calculate a conservative joint confidence
region for b1 and b2 by typing
regress y x1 x2
regress, level(97.5)
The second -regress- command will produce Bonferroni-corrected 97.5%
confidence intervals for b1 and b2, whose Cartesian product is a
conservative rectangular confidence region for the vector parameter
(b1,b2). If the 97.5% confidence interval for b1 is all below zero and
the 97.5% confidence interval for b2 is all above zero, then our
rectangular confidence interval has excluded all possibilities where
b1>0 and b2<0.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes

I think this must be an easy question but I can't find the answer anywhere on
Statalist.
Given the following regression,
y = b0 + b1 x1 + b2 x2 + u
we want to test whether we can reject b1>0 and b2<0. Unfortunately, it seems
that the Stata test command only allows me to implement the two-tailed version
(b1=0 and b2=0). I have found some code that allows me b1>0 OR b2<0 but not both
jointly.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
