I have a dataset that I would like to run a regression on in Stata. I want to make one of the dummy variables the base so I use the ib1.month1 in the regress command.
Is it possible to include in my regression all other variables in the dataset without explicitly writing out each variable again?
You can use the ds command:
sysuse auto, clear
drop make
ds price foreign, not
regress price ib1.foreign `r(varlist)'

for my thesis i am currently investigating the effects of emissions on health on a regional basis. the dependent variable is bicategorical which takes the value 0 (if health is good) and 1 (if health is bad) with the exception of emissions and capita_gdp every variable is categorical:
here is an exemplary regression:
probit health i.year i.region##emissions age educ smoker gender urban capita_gdp, robust
nofvlabel allbaselevels
Probit regression Number of obs = 67,041
Wald chi2(64) = 5850.28

My question is, how can I exactly interpret the coefficients of emissions and the interaction of region.c#emissions on the dependent variable ? To my understanding the coefficient of emissions for region 1 is the base level and the coefficient of emissions in region 2 is lower than region 1 by -.176 ?
Correct. Two extra things worth noting:
Interactions work both ways. So the interaction coefficient tells you that the emissions effect is 0.176 smaller in region 2, but also that the effect of being in region 2 is 0.176 smaller if emissions are one unit larger. That also means you cannot directly interpret any coefficient involved in the interaction (region & emissions) as they both depend on each other.
Stata has an excellent margins and marginsplot command that calculates for you what the coefficients are at particular levels of region and/or emissions. It has a bit of a learning curve, but if you get the hang of it you can produce beautiful graphs to illustrate the interaction effect that will be much more informative than a long regression table.
There are many tutorials online on how to use margins and there's also this presentation by Ben Jann.
This is my regression and its output:
How can I round the coefficients and the standard errors in two decimal places?
You can use the option cformat().
For example::
sysuse auto
regress price length, cformat(%5.2f)

In the Stata manual for regress there is a useful discussion of display options.
I am currently working on a country panel dataset in which I am running a Dif-in-Dif regression including unit specific trends in Stata
My main concern is that the adjusted R-squared obtained is really high, sometimes even 0.99. I am assuming this is a sign of some kind of mistake but I do not know how to correct it.
For the model, I have near 5000 observations. The number of countries are 201, I have 36 years and 5 control variables, then the number of parameters would be around 450.
Here I attach the code used:
xtset id_num year // id_num = id_country
reg `outcome' i.treatment i.year i.id_num c.year#i.id_num `controls' if id_country!="USA" & `subgroup'==1, cluster(id_num)
In case is useful, this is the first part of the output
note: 201.id_num#c.year omitted because of collinearity
Linear regression Number of obs = 4,789
F(39, 174) = .
Prob > F = .
R-squared = 0.9994
Root MSE = .20753

I have data for 2000-2016 and I am trying to estimate the following regression:
xtset id
xtreg lnp i.year i.year#fp, fe vce(robust)
However, when I do this, Stata omits 2008 because of collinearity.
Is there a way to specify which year is omitted?
More generally, you can specify the omitted level of a factor variable (i.e. the
base) by using the ib operator (see also help fvvarlist).
Below is a reproducible example using Stata's toy dataset nlswork:
webuse nlswork, clear
xtset idcode

I'm a beginner in Stata. I'm trying to run the following regression:
regress logy logI logh logL
but I would like to constrain the slope of logh to be one. Can someone tell me the command for this?
There are at least three ways to do this in Stata.
1) Use constrained linear regression:
. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. constraint 1 mpg = 1
. cnsreg price mpg weight, constraints(1)
Constrained linear regression Number of obs = 74
Root MSE = 2502.5449
( 1) mpg = 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
price | Coef. Std. Err. t P>|t| [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------
mpg | 1 (constrained)
weight | 2.050071 .3768697 5.44 0.000 1.298795 2.801347
_cons | -46.14764 1174.541 -0.04 0.969 -2387.551 2295.256
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Variable transformation (suggested by whuber in the comment above):
. gen price2 = price - mpg
. reg price2 weight
Source | SS df MS Number of obs = 74
-------------+------------------------------ F( 1, 72) = 29.59
Model | 185318670 1 185318670 Prob > F = 0.0000
Residual | 450916627 72 6262730.93 R-squared = 0.2913
-------------+------------------------------ Adj R-squared = 0.2814
Total | 636235297 73 8715552.01 Root MSE = 2502.5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
price2 | Coef. Std. Err. t P>|t| [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------
weight | 2.050071 .3768697 5.44 0.000 1.298795 2.801347
_cons | -46.14764 1174.541 -0.04 0.969 -2387.551 2295.256
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Using a GLM model with an offset:
. glm price weight , family(gaussian) link(identity) offset(mpg)
Iteration 0: log likelihood = -683.04238
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -683.04238
Generalized linear models No. of obs = 74
Optimization : ML Residual df = 72
Scale parameter = 6262731
Deviance = 450916626.9 (1/df) Deviance = 6262731
Pearson = 450916626.9 (1/df) Pearson = 6262731
Variance function: V(u) = 1 [Gaussian]
Link function : g(u) = u [Identity]
AIC = 18.51466
Log likelihood = -683.0423847 BIC = 4.51e+08

The glm route could also handle the log transformation of your outcome for you if you change the link and family options appropriately.
