Re: st: not concave Poisson estimation

[Estrella Gomez <estrellastata@gmail.com>]

Dear Morten

Thank you for your response. Now I have changed the specification,
since there is no variation over importer and exporter. (xtpoisson was
specified, but I did not transcript it correctly)

xtpoisson depvar indepvars i.year, re

However, I still have the same problem. Any further idea?

Thanks again
Regards,
Estrella
