Dear statalist,
I am running a multinomial logit model with three outcomes (0-1-2). The data refer to individual's employment status, and the three outcomes are respectively: not working, working in the informal sector, working in the formal sector.
I set the reference outcome to be the 0 outcome. For a standard set of covariates, results are as expected (ie, Stata gives me the two set of results for outcome 1 and outcome 2 respectively). However, when I include dummies for industrial sectors, only the set of results for outcome 2 appear.
At a fist glance, there seem not to be excess of collinearity among sectors and outcomes. How can I explain than one of the three outcomes is dropped?
Many thanks
Margherita
