Running a regression and the coefficient is 0

[Phillipp Ott]

Hello,

I need to run a regress netsales on employee turnover. I calculated the turnover in percent and generated a variable with the following command: gen turnover_total = (employee who left/mean of employee)*100. After running the regression, my table says that the coefficient of turnover_ttl is zero and the Std. err. is omitted.

Is this the correct way of generating a variable?

Sorry, I am a starter in Stata as well as in Econometrics. I will be happy to receive feedback and help.

gen turnover_total = (employee who left/mean of employee)*100.

Show us the result of

tab turnover_total

and the regression table. Post these within CODE delimiters.

Here you can see both. What do you mean ,,within CODE delimiters''?

turnover_ttl

is constant in your data, so it cannot be a useful predictor.

I used CODE delimiters there to show how they work. See also 12.3 in https://www.statalist.org/forums/help
