st: Quaids + Elasticities and censoring

Subject   st: Quaids + Elasticities and censoring
Date   Wed, 7 Jul 2010 16:54:27 +0200

Dear STATA users,

At present I am performing QUAIDS demand system estimation by altering the code provided by Poi (2008). My query concerns how to reach elasticity estimates from the Quaids coefficient estimates. More specifically:

1) Is it good practice to use sample averages for budget shares, expenditure, and prices when creating the elasticities (as done below)?

2) I add my code below as an example that should run on any pc with Poi's code and dataset installed (results available on request). Tips for improvement always welcome.

3)  Also tips on Censored Quaids are most welcome.


Sincerely,

JW

scalar p1bar=r(mean)
scalar lnp1bar=log(p1bar)
qui summ p2
scalar p2bar=r(mean)
scalar lnp2bar=log(p2bar)

scalar w3bar=r(mean)
qui summ w4
scalar w4bar=r(mean)

qui summ expfd
scalar expbar=r(mean)
scalar lnexpbar=log(expbar)

* Step 2: use delta method to calculate all coefficients and with the "post" option these are kept in memory (and used later)
