Kit,

Thank you for your help.  If that is okay with you, I
would like to ask for your advice regarding the
following model:

poverty=hhchar,farmchar,prod,mkt
prod=hhchar,farmchar,irrig,hhcomp
mkt=hhchar,farmchar,transport,road,ethnic

Would it be okay to estimate the model using SUR? 
Could you please suggest a way to estimate the model?

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Ana Rios
