st: Question on Simulating Standard Errors(S.E)
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 as follows;
Isvl_sr_sg = (d2cel_sg)*((pl_sg)/(sve_sg))
My target is the simulating the standard errors(S.E) of such elasticity
over 43 years. To do so, my procedure is that I 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 is correct to simulate S.E of the
Isvl_sr_sg 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
