Hi everyone,
I am estimating a model of simultaneous equations and I have to impose some
nonlinear constraints on the parameters. Here is an example of what I have
to estimate:
Y1=X1*b1+X2*b2+X3*b3
Y2=X1*t1+X2*t2+X3*t3
The nonlinear constraints I want to impose on this model are of this type:
t1/b1=t2/b2
I am estimating the model using 3SLS.
Here is the question: How can I easily impose those constraints? Is there an
easier way than going through the "makecns" programming?? If I have to go
through the programming, how do I specify/create the constraint matrix?
Thanks in advance
Francesco
