If estimation results have been saved via "est sto", is it then possible to user csdid's "saverif" functionality in a secondary command?

[Matt McMahon]

Hello,

I have a very large dataset (~1.5 million observations), so running csdid takes approximately 5 hours. I'm new to the command and methodology, so I've run many iterations of the command. Each time, I used the typical "est sto" command, which allowed me to save the results in order to recall them later, put them into tables, etc. For example, I used:

est sto n3did_estabs_312120_1111000

This was very helpful, but I've now realized that saving them to the local memory won't help me forever -- I'd like to save them as actual (permanent) files on my hard drive so that I can restart my computer (it's been a week already, and it needs a reboot). It seems as though running the "saverif" option with the "csdid" command will do this (please correct me if I'm wrong on that), but the water is already under the bridge here, so to speak: I've already run the "csdid" commands without the "saverif" option.

So, in sum: Is there a way, whether via a version of the "saverif" command or via some other command, to take estimates that are stored temporarily via the "est sto" command and turn them into permanently saved estimates that can be loaded/restored in the future?

Thanks!

Best,
Matt

Not with save rif
those would be helpful only if you want the wildbootstrap estimates
what you can do is “replay” the results , then use est save

Thank you, FernandoRios! This was incredibly helpful and showed me exactly what I needed to do. I really appreciate it.
