I am doing a regression with many dummy variables as controls. They all have high skews (>1 or <-1). To reduce the skew I generated logs of each variables but when I do so and run the command 'summarize var, detail' of the logged version, the new variable has zero for all percentiles, variance, SD and mean and the skew is unavailable. Why could this be the case?
