Thank you very much for your answer! (I had found the topic but not the answer to this issue)
best regards
Christopher
This is an issue that has been discussed on this list before. I don't
think that there is a valid econometric reason for requiring that the
user specifies time-invariant endogenous regressors.
An unsupported (and only superficially tested) work-around is to comment
out the following code in xthtaylor.ado:
if "`zvar2'" == "" {
di as err "There are no time-invariant endogeneous " /*
*/ "variables in the model."
local ok = 0
}
