AW: st: Coefficients resulting from Cross-Sectional Regressions

[Fabian Schönenberger <fabian.schoenenberger@gmail.com>]

Then I am on the wrong track anyway. Which is the right formula to do panel
regressions with ID and t, for every single ID on each point in time in
order to get coefficients individualised by ID and t?
Many thanks in advance.

statsby _b, by(gvkey) saving(coefsales): regress lnebit lnsales

conducts separate regressions for each firm. The coefficient does not differ
by year, as different years are pooled in each regression.

You can put the results of -statsby- back in the original dataset by using
-merge-.

Alternatively,

egen group = group(gvkey)
gen coeff = .
su group, meanonly

qui forval i = 1/`r(max)'  {
          regress lnebit lnsales if group == `i'
          replace coeff = _b[lnsales] if group == `i'
}
