coefplot: Putting names of regressions on y-axis

Question

The following code will generate a coefficient plot:

sysuse auto, clear
regress price mpg trunk length turn if foreign==0
estimates store D
regress price mpg tru         


        

Answer 1

I think this is a terrible idea. If you keep repeating Domestic/Foreign, then there is no way for the reader to know which pair corresponds to each variable.

Here's a better approach:

sysuse auto, clear
estimates clear 

regress price mpg trunk length turn if foreign==0
estimates store D

regress price mpg trunk length turn if foreign==1
estimates store F

coefplot (D, asequation(Domestic) \ F, asequation(Foreign)), drop(_cons) xline(0) 

Alternatively:

coefplot (D, asequation \ F, asequation), drop(_cons) xline(0) ///
eqlabels("Domestic" "Foreign", asheadings)

---

EDIT:

The only way you can achieve what you want is by using the following hack:

coefplot D F, drop(_cons mpg length turn) ///
coeflabels(trunk = `""Domestic -" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "Foreign -""') ///
ylabel(, notick labgap(0)) xline(0) legend(off)

You will obviously have to adapt it for your different use cases.
