Linear regression - error term

[Larry Wellings]

Dear all,

I am trying to replicate the following variable as control for my dataset:

After running the regression I can use predict resid, resid, followed by list resid in order to get the error term for each observation. Is there command to use this data output and generate the ExcessCash variable?

[Maarten Buis]

The variable resid you created is the variable you want.

I see now, thank you. I didn't know Stata automatically adds it
