  • No standard deviations, t statistics or p values given..?

    Hi,

    I am looking at the cumulative abnormal returns of 78 firms in Malaysia.
    I ran multiple regressions and now I want to perform one last one with only the financial firms included.
    However, besides coefficients, no standard errors, t statistics or p values are showed...
    Does anybody know what could have gone wrong?

    Code:
    . regress car conn top30 size leverage
    note: top30 omitted because of collinearity
    
          Source |       SS           df       MS      Number of obs   =         4

    Thank you!

    you have 4 observations and 4 independent variables - this means no SE's or anything that requires SE's - you need additional observations

      Barbara:
      as Rich pointed out, your 4-observation regression is technically unfeasible.
      You may want to consider creating a categorical predictor (1/0) for financial firms and include it among the independent variables of the 78 firms regression.
      Kind regards,
      Carlo
