Hi Statalist,
I'm running some regressions and outputting the results into a text file using the user-written command "esttab", but having trouble when the regressions include interaction terms. I'm using code that has worked in the past; however, estout / esttab were recently updated and since then my code won't work. For reference, I'm using Stata/IC 12.1 for Mac, with Mac OS X 10.7.5. I updated estout today from ssc - I'm not sure how to tell the version number, but it says the Distribution Date is 20140604.
Some sample code looks like this:
reg y x i.d d#c.x
esttab using myfile.txt, replace
With that, I get the error:
d#co: operator invalid
r(198);
If, instead, I do the following:
reg y x i.d d#c.x
esttab using myfile.txt, replace keep(x 1.d)
Then the code runs and produces an output text file, but doesn't include the coefficients for the interaction of d and x, which I need.
Like I said, this code has worked in the past, but now with the updated estout/esttab files, it doesn't work anymore. Has anyone successfully used estout with interaction terms recently (since the June 4 update)? Any advice?
Thanks,
June
