  • Constant in a Fixed Effects Model

    Hello everyone.
    I have questions and I hope you could assist me.
    while estimating with a fixed effects model, I noticed that the output contains a term "_cons".
    Code :
    xtreg LEVERAGE GD BI BoardSize DUALITY FIRMSIZE ROA TANGIBLEASSETS GROWTHOPPORTNITIES LIQUIDITYRATIO , fe i( i ) vce(r)

    If I understood correctly this term : it presents the sum of the two terms ; intercept + average of the individual fixed effects. The term "_cons" is then the estimate of the intercept knowing that the average of the individual fixed effects is null
    what I have already understood is correct ?
    if not, please do not hesitate to give me the right and correct information.
    Thank you for your time and help.
