  • Regression with residualized variables

    Hello all,
    I am new to Stata. This is my first post on this forum and I apologize in case I am doing anything wrong. I am currently working with a difference-in-differences model with two-way fixed effects.This is my code:

    xtset unitid year
    xtreg outcome treatment f.treatment i.year i.unitid##c.year control1, fe cluster(unitid)


    To avoid any bias from pretreatment trends, I would also like to calculate residuals from a regression of demeaned variables for all units and years, and then estimate the model using those residualized variables. I am, however, not entirely sure how to go about this. This is what I have:

    xtset unitid year
    xtreg outcome treatment f.treatment i.year i.unitid##c.year control1, fe cluster(unitid)
    predict pred_outcome
    predict resid_outcome, residuals
    xtreg resid_outcome treatment f.treatment i.year i.unitid##c.year control1, fe cluster(unitid)


    But I do not know if it is correct and I would appreciate your input.

    R.G.
