how to design a publication-quality table like this?

[Yao Zhao]

I succeed to run these 6 regressions. The first 3 regressions are OLS and the last 3 columns are OLS + fixed effects.

 quietly regress _contritotal afterblock age age2, vce(robust)
quietly regress _contriaddition afterblock age age2, vce(robust)
quietly regress _contrideletion afterblock age age2, vce(robust)
xtset id week
quietly xtreg _contritotal afterblock age age2, vce(robust) fe
quietly xtreg _contriaddition afterblock age age2, vce(robust) fe
quietly xtreg _contrideletion afterblock age age2, vce(robust) fe

Then how should I do next? I use LaTeX and I need to generate a table in Stata by using -esttab- or -estout- (I don't know which one I should use.) I first tried to use -esttab-, but it seems -esttab- doesn't have too much flexibility to generate an exact same table. Thus, I turn to use -estout-, but I haven't figure it out. I'm curious how researchers here generate a publication-quality table like this? Do you design all stuff including everything in Stata? Or you just generate numbers in Stata and do other jobs (e.g., decorating a table) in LaTeX?

for example, this is my targeted table.

I saw it, so I changed my question. And this question has nothing with my homework, I just want to know the direction of my question. Not specific answers.

Folks differ a lot on how they do this. I use outreg2 to build tables, but I normally enter the variable names manually and copy and paste the results in. Others get Stata to do more.
