Dear All,
Hello,
Actually, the first I am running a SUR model using time- series dataset
from 1958-2000 as follows in the following , then I am trying to append
some extra observation from 2001-2050 to my master data set in Stata
memory by append command as it is in the following .do file.
version 8.2
set more off
capture log close
log using c:\data\outofsample_scg.log, replace
*loading data set
insheet using c:\data\US_SCG.txt
rename v1 yr
* generating restricted variable costs =labor plus materials costs
gen vc_sg = vl_sg+vm_sg
*generating labor and materials shares variables
gen sl_sg = vl_sg/vc_sg
gen sm_sg = vm_sg/vc_sg
*time variable identification
tsset yr
*generating ln of variables in cost model
gen lvc_sg = ln(vc_sg)
gen lq_sg = ln(q_sg)
gen lpl_sg = ln(pl_sg)
gen lpm_sg = ln(pm_sg)
gen lk_sg = ln(k_sg)
gen le_sg = ln(e_sg)
gen lvcq_sg = ln(vc_sg)-ln(q_sg)
gen lple_sg = lpl_sg * le_sg
gen lplk_sg = lpl_sg * lk_sg
gen lpme_sg = lpm_sg * le_sg
gen lpmk_sg = lpm_sg * lk_sg
gen lek_sg = le_sg * lk_sg
gen lek_neg_sg = (-1)*le_sg*lk_sg
gen lplt_sg = lpl_sg * t
gen lpmt_sg = lpm_sg * t
gen let_sg = le_sg * t
gen lkt_sg = lk_sg * t

append using "c:\data\US_outofsample_SCG.txt"
But, the problem is that when I running my .do file on Stata 9.2, or 8.2
the erroe message is given as follows in the following:
.....Stata has encountered the problem fo error and needs to closed. Wew
are sorry for any inconvenience......
This error message and problem happens when Stata tries to run "Append"
command.
When I am trying to report this problem by clicking on "send error" or
"don`t send error" button, everything is closed including Stata and my .do
file.
Could anybody please help me out on this matter?
Thank you
