Title Comparison of standard errors for robust, cluster, and standard estimators Author William Sribney, StataCorp Question: I ran a regression with data for clients clustered by therapist. I first estimated the regression without using the vce(cluster clustvar) option, then I re-ran it using the vce(cluster clustvar) option. In many cases, the standard errors were much smaller when I used the vce(cluster clustvar) option. Does this seem reasonable? Answer The short answer is that this can happen when the intracluster correlations are negative. Let me back up and explain the mechanics of what can happen to the standard errors. Let’s consider the following three estimators available with the regress command: the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator, the robust estimator obtained when the vce(robust) option is specified (without the vce(cluster clustvar) option), and the robust cluster estimator obtained when the vce(cluster clustvar) opti
correct techniques. Code which is easily available is more likely to be used. Since I program in Stata, most of the instructions below are for Stata. I have also included code in clustered standard errors fixed effects other languages (written by other generous academics) at the end of this page.

this in other languages, please let me know. I am happy to post links to the instructions. I have also posted a test data set (in text and in stata format) along with the http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/statistics/standard-errors-and-vce-cluster-option/ standard errors estimated by several different methods using this data. You can use these results to verify that your routines are producing the same results. With all of the instructions, the programming instructions are in bold. The variable names which the user must specify are in italics. I have also included a sample of the Stata program which I used to run the simulations (i.e. simulated the data http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/petersen/htm/papers/se/se_programming.htm sets and then estimated the coefficients and standard errors). Although I have posted these instructions, I unfortunately, do not have time to respond to all programming questions. Stata Programming Instructions The standard command for running a regression in Stata is: regress dependent_variable independent_variables, options Clustered (Rogers) Standard Errors – One dimension To obtain Clustered (Rogers) standard errors (and OLS coefficients), use the command: regress dependent_variable independent_variables, robust cluster(cluster_variable) This produces White standard errors which are robust to within cluster correlation (clustered or Rogers standard errors). If you wanted to cluster by year, then the cluster variable would be the year variable. If you wanted to cluster by industry and year, you would need to create a variable which had a unique value for each industry-year pair. These standard errors would allow observations in the same industry/year to be correlated (i.e. different firms), but would assume that observations in the same industry, but different years, are assumed to be uncorrelated. To allow observations which share an industry or share a year to be correlated, you need to cluster by two dimensions (industry and year). These instructions follow. For most estimation commands such as logits and probits, the previous form of t
