Gernot:
You can do a Wald-type test based on the delta method with -testnl- or 
-nlcom-. See the example below. If you really want to do the likelihood
ratio test then you'll have to program a -sureg-like program that
contains the constraint yourself and compare the log likelihoods. I
don't think that is worth the effort, given the availability of
-testnl- and -nlcom-.

HTH,
Maarten


*---------- begin example -----------------
sysuse auto, clear
sureg (price foreign weight length) (mpg displ = foreign weight)
testnl _b[price:foreign]/_b[mpg:weight]=_b[price:length]
return list
nlcom example:_b[price:foreign]/_b[mpg:weight]-_b[price:length], post
di %18.14f (_b[example]/_se[example])^2 
/*compare with chi2 from -testnl-*/
*------------- end example ----------------
