Imagine you have to specify several hundred constraints like that. Instead of writing them down one by one I'm looking for a way to do this in matrix notation. But maybe that's just not possible in Stata. I can always program it by hand in Matlab.

Beat,
Suppose you have reg3 (y1 y2 x1 x2 x3) (y2 y1 x1 x2 x3) and you
want to drop out x1 from the first y1 equation, you could specify this as follows:
constraint 1 [x1] y1 = 0
reg3 (y1 y2 x1 x2 x3) (y2 y1 x1 x2 x3) , 3sls constr(1)
This sets up the constraint of x1 = 0.
