Hi Jeff
Thank you very much for your help that fixed the issue.
One final question. When trying to run the equation below STATA won't let me cluster by country 'cluster (ccode)' when bootstrapping. I have checked the integrity of the data-set and there are no repeated values. Is there some way to cluster by country?
Thank you
Rod

the most likely cause for this error is misspecifying the cluster(), idcluster(), or group() option

Rodwan should type the following within Stata to check on the current state of
the Stata 9.2 executable and ado-files.
. update query
Based on Rodwan's reported error message, it appears that Rodwan's Stata 9.2
executable is not fully up-to-date. The remedy for this is to run the
following Stata commands:
. update all
. update swap
-----
For those interested, the update on 31july2006 contained the addition of the
-gweight- option to the -_parse- command. -_parse- is used by the parsing
engine employed by the -bootstrap- and -jackknife- prefix commands, which are
called when the -vce(bootstrap)- and -vce(jackknife)- options are specified.
