Re: st: Comparison of Coefficients on two separate models with different dependent variables but with same independent variables

[Jorge Eduardo Pérez Pérez <jorge_perez@brown.edu>]

You can use -sureg- to get a variance-covariance matrix for the
coefficients of the two models and test the difference in coefficients
across models.

sysuse auto, clear
* Get a different outcome on same scale
gen price2=price+10*rnormal()
* Two regressions
reg price mpg turn
reg price2 mpg turn
* Estimating jointly yields the same coefficients
* Use small and dfk to yield small sample stats comparable with reg
sureg (price mpg turn) (price2 mpg turn), small dfk
* Test difference
lincom [price]mpg - [price2]mpg

Hope this helps,
