Re: st: How to estimate standard error of panel variant coefficient

[Tirthankar Chakravarty <tirthankar.lists@gmail.com>]

I sent that out a little prematurely -- you need to add a -by()-
option since you want a parameter for each panel.

*-----------------------------------------------------------------
set matsize 9000
webuse nlswork, clear
xtset idcode year

xtreg ln_w  L.ln_w age ttl_exp L.ttl_exp c.ttl_exp#i.collgrad , fe
margins, expression(_b[ttl_exp]*collgrad) by(idcode)
*-----------------------------------------------------------------
