Expanding the number of decimal points in the output of the xtscc command


I am using the community-contributed Stata command xtscc and I need to report p-values with 4 decimal points.

Including the pformat() option in the regress command works:

regress y x, pformat(%5.4f)

However, when I include this in the xtscc command, it results in an error:

xtscc y x, pformat(%5.4f)
option pformat() not allowed
r(198);

How can I produce the same output when using the xtscc command?


Solution

  • There is no such option for the xtscc command but the following works all the same:

    xtscc invest mvalue kstock, fe lag(4)
    
    Regression with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors   Number of obs     =       200
    Method: Fixed-effects regression                 Number of groups  =        10
    Group variable (i): company                      F(  2,     9)     =     84.69
    maximum lag: 4                                   Prob > F          =    0.0000
                                                     within R-squared  =    0.7668
