P Value - significant or not

[Mehmet Can]

Dear friends,

I hope you all have been healthy and well.

I have a question;

- According to the table, V1 - p1 is significant(it has 3*) but as i know (0.436) is p value and it should not be significant.

for v2 everything is perfect.

Can you kindly explain which one is significant and why?

Perhaps the numbers in parentheses are standard errors and not p-values? There is a note indicating as much at the bottom of the table.

Dear Lance, thank you for you reply. How can i check that or how can i be sure that if it is standard errors?

Thank you, i am a rookie

Hi Mehmet. I am assuming you used the outreg2 command to generate this table. Typically, this command will report standard errors in parentheses. It also says this below the table. To double check if you are still unsure, you can run the regression again and simply compare the standard error column with the numbers reported in parentheses.

The numbers in parentheses cannot be p-values: p-values must be between 0 and 1, and you've got 1.467 and 1.441.

The numbers in parentheses cannot be t-statistics either: the default t-statistics for negative coefficient estimates must be negative but all of the numbers are positive.

That leaves standard errors as the only plausible candidate, and I'm convinced that they are standard errors just as your table note says. If you divide by each coefficient by the number below it, you obtain a t-statistic whose magnitude agrees with the significance asterisks.

Thank you all!! Last question;

what is the difference between first and second reg? how should i interpret it? thanks again
