See https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...-function-egen

Such errors are associated with incorrect installations or pirated versions of Stata.

Code:
. which _growmiss XXX\Stata15\ado\base\_\_growmiss.ado *! version 1.0.0 04oct2004

These indicate that you have a pirated copy of Stata (installed from compressed files created by the WinRAR archiver). So there is your issue. For a genuine copy, you should see something like

. which _ggroup
C:\Program Files\Stata16\ado\base\_\_ggroup.ado
*! version 3.0.1  18jun2020

Stata is available for purchase from https://www.stata.com/order/

[ruba kn]

[ruba kn]

or other free programs with westerlund bootstrap method?

[Andrew Musau]

Can't you get it through your university? You can request an evaluation license.

no i can't get it through my university but i'll check the link thank you
can the xtdcce2 command work or it has the same issue?

[Andrew Musau]

You can start a new thread and see if anyone familiar with this literature can advise. I am no expert here.

[Chris Boudreaux]

There are student licenses available at a discount. Contact Stata sales for more help.

Rather than pirating Stata, I suggest you look into R if you cannot get a legitimate copy of Stata. R is freely available.

Dear Community, Can we apply xtwest (weterlund conitegration) in case of more than 6 explanatory variables? as this commnad generating error "No more than 6 covariates can be specified"!
