I apologize because I have given first a simplified version of my model. In other thread, I gave the full model. Best regards Hervé

--- -- Herve, I don't find the FAQ all that enlightening either. Here is a solution to a reduced problem: Your equation is: y = b0 + b1 x1 + b2 x2 = = (b1 - b2) x1 + + b2( x1 - x2) If b1 - b2>0 then b1 - b2 = exp(c) for some number c Let z = x2 - x1 Then fit the *non-linear* equation y = exp(c)*x1 + b2 Z and solve for b2 ***********CODE BEGINS****** sysuse auto, clear keep if rep78 !=. rename rep78 x1 rename foreign x2 rename mpg y gen z = x1 - x2 reg y x1 x2 //constraint not met nl (y = {alpha} + exp({c})*x1 + {b2}*z) //get constant & b2 nlcom b1: log(_b[c:_cons]) +_b[b2:_cons] // get b1 *********CODE ENDS*********** Steve Steven J.

I have also read the answer from Marteen Buis and his suggested solution (http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/intconst.html). I do not understand very well the suggested solution and I am not trained in programming. Consequently, my question is the following: is there a "not too complex" solution to get the constraints I need?
