Dear Statalist,

I have a problem after doing GMM in Stata11- I would like to do a wald
test for 2 coefficient but it reports an error. Please see following:

gmm (y :y - {c0} - {c1}*a - {c2}*b - {c3}*aXb ),  instruments (a b
aXb) winitial(unadjusted, independent)

Step 1
Iteration 0:   GMM criterion Q(b) =  .00560077
Iteration 1:   GMM criterion Q(b) =  2.232e-25
Iteration 2:   GMM criterion Q(b) =  1.627e-34

Step 2
Iteration 0:   GMM criterion Q(b) =  4.855e-32
Iteration 1:   GMM criterion Q(b) =  4.855e-32

GMM estimation

Number of parameters =   4
Number of moments    =   4
Initial weight matrix: Unadjusted                     Number of obs  =    2196
GMM weight matrix:     Robust

Instruments for equation 1: a b aXb _cons

test b + aXb = 0
regressor b not found
r(111);

I tried it many times, but it alway says that regressor b not found. I
don't know what happens in this since I am not expert in STATA.

Many thanks for your kind attention.
