Programming for further processing of postestimation results

Do you find yourself regularly cutting and pasting your postestimation results, such as regression coefficients, into a spreadsheet? If so, you should consider trying to program wherever possible. Using Stata's matrix commands, this presentation will show you how to process postestimation results, such as manipulating a vector of regression coefficients. By crafting your own small ado-file, you can save yourself from the tedious and repetitive job of using spreadsheets. The presentation will be illustrated with an example based on decomp, an ado-file by Ian Watson that decomposes earnings results. The spreadsheet approach will be contrasted with the ado approach.
