I have tried to incorporate longtable, but it does not work for me. The table was created using the stargazer package in R-Studio, and then imported into Overleaf. Has anyone run into a similar problem? Is this a stargazer limitation and if so how would I overcome this?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Here's an adaptation of your code that employs a longtable environment. Observe that I had to fix a number of issues with your code in addition to changing over from a table/tabular combination to a longtable. Among them are a replacement of all instances of $*$ with \times and a replacement of all instances of & & & \\ with \addlinespace, a macro provided by the booktabs package.

The following screenshot shows just the first few rows of the resulting table.
