Hi All,

I have run into an issue with my stata results when I run levpet
industry by industry.

When I run the following command for Levihnson-Petrin I get different
results each time.

eststo: levpet lnY if industry_no == 1, free (lnl) proxy (lnM) capital
(lnK1) revenue

For example, the first and second set of results are posted below. Is
this a similar effect to bootstrapping?

Thanks a lot.

SAM


Sam,

-levpet- uses the bootstrap to obtain the standard errors, so you will get different standard errors each time unless you first set the random-number seed.  See -help seed- for information about setting the random-number seed.
