Dear stata users,
I?m trying to estimate a recursive multi-equation model with cmp.
In the first equation I would like to estimate a variable Y1 (dependent
variable). Then I would like to include this variable as an independent
variable in equation two. So far this is not a problem.
The problem is that I also want to include Y1 as an interaction term with
another variable X4. In order to do that I think I would need to generate a
new variable, which includes the interaction term (X4*Y1). Unfortunately
stata does not allow for any calculations within equations.
Does anybody know how to do that? Does anybody know a work-around?
The model looks like this:
cmp (Eq2: Y2 = Y1 X4 X4*Y1) (Eq1: Y1 = X1 X2 X3), ind($cmp_cont $cmp_cont)
quiet;
The equations are defined according to the ml model eq syntax. So one
thought of mine was to include a third equation, which generates my
interaction term. Unfortunately I did not find a way to do that so far.
I would be really greatefull for any suggestions and help!!!
Thanks a lot,
Marko
