I'm using the -estpost- in combination with -tabstat- command to produce descriptive statistics, and output the results to my LaTeX file using -esttab-. Since the exported values are quite large it get a very messy table output. Thus I tried using the main format options for -esttab- but that doesn't work, neither in the stata output not the Tex-file.
If possible I would like to report different formats for the variables since Assets, Debt, and MarketCap are Dollar values reaching a couple millions, and leverage is a percentage, and Divdidends and Price are just small numbers. Could you help me with this?
The code I use to import the Tex-file in my thesis is depicted below. This doesn't do anything specific apart from setting the imported Tex-file as a table in the middle of the page.
The generated output from -esttab-:
Code:
estpost tabstat Assets Debt MarketCap Leverage Dividend Price, s(n mean min max sd) col(stat)
esttab . using "C:\Users\...\Panel_Constituents.tex", ///
c("mean min max sd") lab nomtitles nodepvars nonumbers replace
