  • Manual Degrees of Freedom Adjustment of Standard Errors after Fixed Effects by De-Meaning - Inconsistent P Values

    Dear all

    I'm running a extended family fixed effects regression by manually de-meaning my variables with respect to extended family means. I'm doing a simple DoF adjustment to get the correct standard errors. When I do this, Stata returns the correct coefficients, SEs, t values but for some reason different p-values and I'm not sure why?

    Also if anyone knows a command, similar to the -, dof() - command that allows you to input the correct degrees of freedom for calculating e.g. F statistic when clustering, or even a more parsimonious manual adjustment, I'd be very grateful to hear.

    Many thanks
    Owen

    Below is my code and a sample of my dataset
    Code:
    *Running FE with extended family dummies
    reg chmarried6 chtotal6 childnum6 chage6 feduc i.efamid, cluster(nfamid)
    
    *Running FE with de-meaned variables
    reg d_chmarried6 d_chtotal6 d_childnum6 d_chage6 d_feduc, cluster(nfamid)
    
    *Adjusting DoF
    mat b = e(b)
    mat vbyhand = e(V)
    qui reg d_chmarried6 d_chtotal6 d_childnum6 d_chage6 d_feduc
    scalar dfrr = e(df_r)
    qui reg d_chmarried6 d_chtotal6 d_childnum6 d_chage6 d_feduc, cluster(efamid)
    scalar dfra = dfrr - e(N_clust)+1
    mat vcorr = (dfrr/dfra)*vbyhand
    ereturn post b vcorr
    ereturn display
