Thanks a lot for the help.

I tried the procedure with some arbitray data. The last part of the regression output looks like follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
   x  |      Coef.   Std. Err.      t    P>|t|     [95% Conf. Interval ------+----------------------------------------------------------------
 Mck  |  -.2622068   .0173646   -15.10   0.000    -.2962768   -.2281368
 Acy  |  -10.01862   1.684471    -5.95   0.000     -13.3236   -6.713626
 Acw2 |  -53.35768   4.470133   -11.94   0.000    -62.12823   -44.58712

. mat b = e(b)
. mat li b


b[1,3]
           Mck:        Acy:       Acw2:
         _cons       _cons       _cons
y1  -.26220681  -10.018615  -53.357676


Than I would like to calculte γ= Mck / Acy

 . nlcom ( γ:  b[1,1]/b[1,2])

          γ:  b[1,1]/b[1,2]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
   x1  |      Coef.   Std. Err.      t    P>|t|     [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------        γ |    .026172          .        .       .            .           .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now my question is: Why is there no Std. Err. given? What did I do wrong? How can I get these values?

Thanks a lot for your help.
