setFixest_dict

Sets/gets the dictionary relabeling the variables

Description

Sets/gets the default dictionary used in the function etable, did_means and coefplot. The dictionaries are used to relabel variables (usually towards a fancier, more explicit formatting) when exporting them into a Latex table or displaying in graphs. By setting the dictionary with setFixest_dict, you can avoid providing the argument dict.

Usage

setFixest_dict(dict)

getFixest_dict

Arguments

dict

A named character vector. E.g. to change my variable named "a" and "b" to (resp.) "$log(a)$" and "$bonus^3$", then use dict = c(a="$log(a)$", b3="$bonus^3$"). This dictionary is used in Latex tables or in graphs by the function coefplot. If you want to separate Latex rendering from rendering in graphs, use an ampersand first to make the variable specific to coefplot.

Format

An object of class function of length 1.

Examples

data(trade)
est = feols(log(Euros) ~ log(dist_km)|Origin+Destination+Product, trade)
# we export the result & rename some variables
esttex(est, dict = c("log(Euros)"="Euros (ln)", Origin="Country of Origin"))

# If you export many tables, it can be more convenient to use setFixest_dict:
setFixest_dict(c("log(Euros)"="Euros (ln)", Origin="Country of Origin"))
esttex(est) # variables are properly relabeled
