Stata 9.2, Windows XP
I'm having trouble executing this -forval- code:
webuse nlswork
reg ln_wage age race grade if year==68
predict r1, r
whitetst, fitted
forval i=69(1)88 {
reg ln_wage age race grade if year==`i'
predict r`i', r
reg r`i' r`i_[n-1]'
whitetst, fitted
}
The problem, of course, is with -reg r`i' r`i_[n-1]'-, which chokes
with the error code:
r ambiguous abbreviation
r(111);
Even after checking -h forval-, I can't find a satisfactory way of
getting Stata to automate the second residual term, which should be
the one estimated for the year before the first one in each
-regress-ion.
All solutions gratefully received.
