Re: st: RE: Re: SVAR in Stata11

[Peter Claeys <peter.claeys@ub.edu>]

Dear Eric

thanks a lot for your reply. I did not get much more feedback from other 
users since then, I guess due to the holidays, so that is why I post it 
again.

My suspicion is that the outcome I get is due to some updating problem 
with Stata 11, but I have no idea about its reason. I have updated the 
entire file structure, installed/uninstalled Stata 11 but without results,

thanks

Peter
