Subject   st: A Question on Simulating S.E of the Elasticities

Dear All,

Basically, I have estimated a system of the cost and labor-share equation using ISURE. I am using time-series of a particular U.S. industry stretched over 1958-2000 for 43 years. Then I have generated a variable called "sve_sg" as this new variable is a function of all RHS variables of the cost function. Then, I have generated the elasticities of this new defined variable "sve_sg" with respect to each factor as it is function of that factor. For example, If I would like to calculate its elasticity with respect to the factor"l" , in doing so, the first, I generate this elasticity, named, "Isvl_sr_sg" as you see in the following. so that this generated elasticity is a function of some variables that each are as function of the estimated coefficients and RHS variables of the cost function. I have include all of these variables in the following.


Isvl_sr_sg = (d2cel_sg)*((pl_sg)/(sve_sg))

where
d2cel_sg = ((pvc_sg)*(_b[lple_sg]+(sve_sghat*sl_sghat)))/((pl_sg)*(e_sg))

sve_sg = (sve_sghat)*(pvc_sg / e_sg)

sl_sghat = _b[lpl_sg] + _b[lple_sg]*le_sg + _b[lplk_sg]*lk_sg + _b[lplt_sg]*t

sve_sghat =_b[le_sg] + _b[lple_sg]*lpl_sg + _b[lpme_sg]*lpm_sg + _b[lek_neg_sg]*lk_sg + _b[let_sg]*t

pvc_sg = (exp(_b[_cons] + _b[lq_sg]*lq_sg + _b[lpl_sg]*lpl_sg + _b[lpm_sg]*lpm_sg + _b[lk_sg]*lk_sg +_b[le_sg]*le_sg + _b[t]*t + _b[lple_sg]*lple_sg + _b[lplk_sg]*lplk_sg + _b[lpme_sg]*lpme_sg + _b[lpmk_sg]*lpmk_sg + _b[lek_neg_sg]*lek_neg_sg + _b[lplt_sg]*lplt_sg + _b[lpmt_sg]*lpmt_sg + _b[let_sg]*let_sg + _b[lkt_sg]*lkt_sg))

My target is simulating the standard errors(S.E) of such elasticity over 43 years. To do so, my procedure is that I initially re-run the ISURE model and then I am using the following "testnl" command as follows:

est replay "ISURE"
testnl [=lvc_sg]: Isvl_sr_sg // lvc_sg is the cost function.

But, after runnign my .do file, I am getting the following error. Can anybody help me out that what is wrong with using "testnl" command?

testnl [=lvc_sg]: Isvl_sr_sg

(1) [ = lvc_sg]: Isvl_sr_sg
equation [-(lvc_sg] not found
r(303);

end of do-file
r(303);

I am not sure whether this procedure to simulate S.E of the Isvl_sr_sg is correct or not. If not so, anybody please can help me on this matter, how to calculate the S.E though any other way?

Thank you
