Dear Maarten,

A bit late, but I wanted to thank you for the suggestion to look at the
gmm command, I've finally had a chance to check it and indeed this works
for some of the countries I'm looking at. Unfortunately, many countries'
regressions return an error with 'flat or discontinuous regions
encountered', but I'll play around with the initial values as a first
solution attempt. However, any other suggestions for getting around the
issue are very welcome indeed.

Many thanks again,

Adrien

I am thinking about the -gmm- command, see -help gmm- and the 
manual entry on -gmm-. Especially in the latter there are a
large number of examples.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
