Loop for fixed effect regression with multiple dependent variables

[Julianna Kirschner]

Hi all,

I have multiple dependent variables that I wish to run a fixed effect regression for with the same IV's and same controls. Below is the code I have been trying to use but nothing seems to work. I have tried to use a similar code as the question posed here: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...s-with-outreg2 and here https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...dent-variables

 *list dependent variables
local dvs x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 x8 x9 x10 x11 x12...etc

*list independent variables
local ivs y1 y2 y3 y4 y5 y6 y7 y8 y9 y10.. etc

*list controls
local cvs i.Year pop i.RURAL_URBAN_Categorical

*Loop DV variables in the regression
xtset ID time
foreach DV of local dvs {
    xtreg 'DV' 'ivs' 'cvs', fe
}

with this one I get " ' invalid name r(198)"

when I try this:

 xtset ID time
local i=1
foreach DV of local dvs {
  xtreg 'DV' 'ivs' 'cvs',fe
  estimates store m'i'
  local 'i'='i'+1
   }

something runs but nothing appears and when I query the estimates it says "(active results produced by xtreg; not yet stored)"

additionally, I would like to use outreg2 to store the results but I haven't even gotten to that part yet.

thanks for all the help.

Note the leftmost quote:

xtset ID time
local i 0
foreach DV of local dvs {
    local ++i    
    xtreg `DV' `ivs' `cvs', fe
    estimates store m`i'
}

Andrew Musau thank you so much. Seems like its always the simplest things that have me frustrated for hours (difference between ` and ')
