Dear statalist,
Working with one of my samples (that should be very similar to the others,
only changing the country, and not having problems with the others) I
obtained dropped values for this particular situation.
I read on the FAQ this:
Why do estimation commands sometimes drop variables?
Title Estimation commands and dropped variables
Author James Hardin, StataCorp
Date August 1996; minor revision July 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you run a regression (or other estimation command) and the estimation
routine drops a variable, it does so because of a dependency among the
independent variables in the proposed model. You can identify this
dependency by running a regression where you specify the dropped variable
as the dependent variable and the remaining variables as the independent
variables.
Is it valid also for simultaneous equations?
What should I do?
Thanks and regards,
Alejandra Molina
