Latex formula in eststo estadd

[Theresa Spickers]

Hi,

I am trying to export regression results from Stata to Latex and I want to add a latex formula to the output. The code is the following:

reghdfe y x1 x2 x3, absorb(C#Y)
estadd local fe "C$\times$Y"

The $\times$ is the latex formula. When storing the local Stata cuts off the second "$" and the following "Y", so the output only contains "C$\times".

I tried to escape the "$"

estadd local fe "C\$\times\$Y"

but the results are the same.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

The dollar sign is interpreted as a global macro by Stata. Adding spaces or including both C and Y in the LaTeX code may resolve this.

estadd local fe "C \$\times\$ Y"

or

estadd local fe "$\text{C}\times\text{Y}$"

Both works fine! Thanks for your help, Andrew!
