Problem in using ivregress 2sls command in oaxaca

[Lig Lig]

Hi everyone,

I'm getting errors when I run the following code:

oaxaca y x1 x2...x10, by(caste) pooled model2(ivregress 2sls, addrhs((lninc=iv1 iv2)))

where y = dependent var, x1, x2, ...,x10 are exogenous independent variables, lninc is endogenous independent var and iv1 and iv2 are the instruments.

I am using Stata 15.1 and I got the following error message:

option / not allowed
r(198);

end of do-file

r(198);

I will be glad, if anyone can help me to fix the problem in this command.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation,
S

My guess is that you do not show us everything that you typed or that is in your do-file. Therefore, it is difficult to see where your problem is.
It could be that you tried to make your code more readable by including "///" somewhere at the end of a line, but you used only "/" or you copied your code to the Stata command window, where comments don't work.

Thank you so much, Sven-Kristjan.

Yes, I used "///" in my program but not "/". Following your suggestion, I removed those lines and run my code. It works well.

Thanks a lot.
