Hello,

I've been trying to bootstrap income and own price elasticities of the
AIDS model, using the function evaluator program coded by Poi (found
on the stata10 reference manual and reported below). However, every
attempt of boostrapping any statistic involving one or more of the
coefficients was unsuccessful. My understanding is that this happens
because the coefficients are temporary scalars. If so, what should I
do to make the coefficients returned scalars and hence, as such,
usable to bootstrap the elasticities?

Any help would be much appreciated,
Stefano Verde
