How to make the space between coefficient and standard errors smaller from Stata on LaTeX?

Question

I used outreg command to get the following tex code, yet I cannot find how to make the coefficients and their standard errors as close as possible.
The code goes as follows:
The preamble:
documentclass[]{article}
setlength{pdfpagewidth}{12in} setlength{pdfpageheight}{11in}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[a4paper,includeheadfoot,margin=2.5 cm]{geometry}
usepackage{cases} 
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{adjustbox}
usepackage[symbol]{footmisc}

RequirePackage{etex}
usepackage{graphicx}
usepackage{imakeidx}
usepackage[round]{natbib}
linespread{1.5}

The code:
documentclass{article}

begin{document}
begin{table}[]
centering
begin{adjustbox}{width=textwidth}
begin{tabular}{lcccccc} hline hline
 & (1) & (2) & (3) & (4) & (5) & (6) 
 & ic7d & ic14d & ic7d & ic14d & ic7d & ic14d  hline
 &   
textbf{c7} & 0.003   sym{}
 & (0.0025)   
textbf{c14} &  & 0.003   sym{}
 &  & (0.0025)   
textbf{avrg7} &  &  & -0.502*  sym{}
 &  &  & (0.2030)  
textbf{avrg14} &  &  &  & -0.506* sym{}
 &  &  &  & (0.2070)  
textbf{dg7} &  &  &  &  & 1.257**   sym{}
 &  &  &  &  & (0.2980) &  
textbf{dg14} &  &  &  &  &  & 1.261** sym{}
 &  &  &  &  &  & (0.3010) 
textbf{Number of Obs.} & 1,453 & 1,402 & 1,424 & 1,373 & 1,377 & 1,326 
textbf{R-squared} & 0.001 & 0.001 & 0.093 & 0.093 & 0.169 & 0.170 
 hline hline 
multicolumn{7}{linewidth}{small Robust standard errors in parentheses; + p$<$0.1, * p$<$0.05, ** p$<$0.01} 
multicolumn{7}{linewidth}{small Table 1} 
multicolumn{7}{linewidth}{small The regressions are of 7 days of lags.} 
end{tabular}
   end{adjustbox}
end{table}
end{document}

From your question, I assume you want the linespacing to only affect the text, while keeping a smaller linespacing while inside of a table. If that's the correct assumption, using the setspace package, that automatically takes care of that, might be interesting for you. In the following MWE, I also made some more changes to the preamble and the table code itself to further improve the output:

documentclass[]{article}
%setlength{pdfpagewidth}{12in} setlength{pdfpageheight}{11in} % seems to contradict the geometry package options you set, therefore removed
%usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % default with up to date latex
usepackage[a4paper,includeheadfoot,margin=2.5 cm]{geometry}

usepackage{amsmath} % switched load order to prevent error messages
usepackage{cases}
%usepackage{adjustbox} % not needed any more, since adjustbox environment around table was removed. Using adjustbox on a table makes font sized inconsistent. If you insist on a table that is exactly as wide as the textwidth, take a look at the second example.

%%%% unrelated to the table issue: %%%%
%usepackage[symbol]{footmisc}
%RequirePackage{etex}
%usepackage{graphicx}
%usepackage{imakeidx}
%usepackage[round]{natbib}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

usepackage{setspace} % replacement for linespread. Only afects text, does not change line spacing inside of tables
doublespacing

usepackage{caption} % improve spacing around caption, offers ways to change the caption's style
usepackage{booktabs} % for horizontal lines with improved spacing

usepackage{lipsum} % just for dummy text. Do not use in real document.
