Rado,
It looks like you want a table with the beta coefficients with stars for significance levels, but no other statistics including t statistics or standard errors.
This is possible with the new version of -outreg-. I am not sure about whether this is possible with -outreg2-. -outreg- can be downloaded with -ssc install outreg, replace-.
The following code will report beta coefficients with stars next to them for the significance level of _regular_ coefficients (not beta coefficients).
sysuse auto, clear
regress mpg weight turn, vce(robust) beta
outreg, stats(beta) starloc(1)
In -regress-, Stata does not report standard errors or t statistics of beta coefficients. -outreg- also does not calculate the standard errors of beta coefficients, so it cannot report significance stars for a test that the beta coefficients are different from zero. I am pretty certain that -outreg2- does not either.
By the way, what the point of beta coefficients, and who uses them?
John
