Dear Stata users,
I encounter a problem when trying to run cnsreg with several restrictions. An example of my data is shown below.
The first couple of restrictions are linear as shown below. These linear restrictions are necessary since Fixed Effects are interpreted.
Another couple of restrictions is dropping the constant and enforcing to keep collinear variables. Both restrictions must be enforced since I must estimate each Fixed Effect. If a Fixed Effect were dropped, then results couldn't be interpreted.
An assumption in the error structure is homoskedasticity and correlation between observations. The tests I am using are described below in code format. However, when I run either test, the following problem appears: estat [test name] not valid. I must point out that the problem is not there when I try the reg command, but I am unable to enforce all my restrictions.
Could you help me figurate out what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
