"command estpost is unrecognized" error

[Esraa Dagli]

Hello everyone,

Currently, I am trying to analyze the effect of gathering restrictions on new Corona cases. Now, I am checking the replicability of my analysis.
My problem is when I run the master do file with ado files, such as:

adopath + "$MY_PATH/ados/"
adopath - PERSONAL
adopath - PLUS
adopath - OLDPLACE

I always get the "command estpost is unrecognized" error on Stata. However, when I run the master do file excluding the adopath lines, the whole master do file runs without any problem.
I would like to ask which files must be included in $MY_PATH/ados/" to run estpost command for solving this issue.

Thank you in advance

your question is not clear (to me, anyway) but you can find out where the program is by typing:

which estpost

and you can then check whether that matches where you are looking

What you are being told is that your analysis uses the community contributed estout package, which is the source of the estpost command. Since you have removed the PLUS directory from your ADOPATH, which is where community contributed commands are installed, Stata fails to find estpost.

If you are not using other parts of estout in your work, perhaps you can modify your code to replace estpost with estimates post.
