Re: st: how to drop coefficients on fixed effects from the estout command

[Ridhima Gupta <g.ridhima@gmail.com>]

I have around 60 dummies. So I don't wish to type rep78_d1 rep78_d2
rep78_d3 rep78_d4..... so on 60 times. I think its better if I jst
delete them from the output. Don't you think so?

Best Wishes,
Ridhima
