Suppressing coefficients on year (time) dummies in Logit Model

[Steve K]

When running a linear regression it's possible to use areg to absorb the coefficients on things such as time dummy variables (e.g. i.year). I was wondering if there's something similar when using a logit model. I have a few decades in my sample and don't particularly care what the exact coefficients are or whether any given one is significant. It's helpful to see it once, but not every time I decide to rerun it.

Is there a way to suppress such coefficients from the output in Stata? Thanks for any help.

There is no direct way of doing what you want. You could estimate your model quietly, and display the coefficients of interest with est table and choose which coefficients you want to see, but I don't think that is practical or even right: if small changes in your model lead to large changes in your decades effects you'll want to know that. I just make sure that the variables I am less interested in are specified at the end, so they appear at the bottom of the table in the output.
