”Robust” standard errors is a technique to obtain unbiased standard errors of OLS coefficients under heteroscedasticity. In contrary to other statistical software, such as R for instance, it is rather simple to calculate robust standard errors in STATA. All you need to is add the option robust
to you regression command. That is:
regress y x, robust
Below you find a working example that shows you how the option works
