Dear Robson, thank you very much for your reply. So, this is the output that I have from Stata: Source SS df MS Number of obs = 694 F( 6, 687) = 11.25 Model 60244.0295 6 10040.6716 Prob > F = 0.0000 Residual 613010.929 687 892.301206 R-squared = 0.0895 Adj R-squared = 0.0815 Total 673254.958 693 971.507876 Root MSE = 29.871 rt Coef.
