Re: st: Oaxaca command error

Semer

your comand is for a simple OLS, but looking at your exogenours variables you seem to have so many dummy variables in the midst of afew continours. My bet is that you should  have as many contionours variables as possible and reduce the dummies to 2 or 1. Many dummies in OLS may lead to colliniearity or just a collapse of the estimation
