  • xtsur cannot deal with any factor variables?

    Hi, I have a problem with using xtsur.

    xtsur cannot have any factor variables?


    I ran xtsur with an unbalanced panel data (long) and got this error.

    xtsur (y1 x1 x2 x3 i.x4) (y2 x1 x2 x3 i.x4)

    "factor variables not allowed"
    r(101);


    if I removed "i.x4" from the line, I could get the result but including x4 is important of me.

    Out of the curiosity, however, sureg works with factor variables here, I still have same data format (long) though.

    sur (y1 x1 x2 x3 i.x4) (y2 x1 x2 x3 i.x4)

    Does anyone have any idea to solve this issue?
