Steve,
Can you please explain a little further. Let me rephrase the question initially asked. Whether coefficients obtained after running regression on all managers (full dataset) are same as the average coefficients obtained from running regressions on individual mangers. I don't know a paper that has done analysis on this pattern, and would like to know, if there exist any analysis like that. My idea is, both method should reflect the similar results.
David

Yuval,
I don't have access to your article, but I have an observation: The predictions (real and counterfactual) that are averaged are not independent, because they are all functions of the estimated regression coefficients. I don't think a t-test accommodate the non-independence. In Stata, I would use -margins- or -lincom- after -margins-.

David,
You can simply use Difference in Difference (DD) analysis:
Run a regression on the group of managers who take the first (second)
approach. Then predict what would have happened to the performance of
each manager in the case that he/she takes the other approach and use
the -ttest- to see whether the difference is significant.
Note to define dummy variables in any case that variables are ordinal,
i.e., the numerical values have no quantitative meaning
I use this approach quite often. You can look at the second part of my
following paper published in RSUE:
Arbel, Yuval; Ben Shahar,Danny; Gabriel, Stuart and Yossef Tobol:
"The Local Cost of Terror: Effects of the Second Palestinian Intifada
on Jerusalem House Prices".Regional Science and Urban Economics (2010)
