RE: st: nlcom, "Maximum number of iterations exceeded."

[Mauro.PISU@oecd.org]

Dear Maarten,

Thanks for your reply, but I do not think this is related to the problem I have with nlcom.   It is true that most probably there is some collinearity issue in the equations I am estimating (these are the output and input demand functions of a Symmetric Normalised Quadratic Profit Function by Diewert and Wales (1987) Econometrica).  

The problem I have has to do with nlcom. Even if I modify my equations in different manner I get the same kind of problem.

Cheers,

Mauro

You will probably need to fix your -nlsur- command before 
using the -nlcom- command. One thing you might want to 
look into is perfect colinearity.
