Subject   st: Interpreting VEC outputs

Hi,

I have tested for a cointegrating relationship and one exists, so I've
 estimated a VECM with four variables [ ln_qt , ln_VKM , lnincome , Lnf ].
 There are enough observations. I'm just wondering how exactly to rewrite
 the STATA output into equations, in particular the first equation as it
 is the modelling of demand (Ln_qt) that I am most interested in. 

So what I want to know is: how do I rewrite the output (see below please)
 and what is the best approach in interpreting the results for demand
 (Ln_qt) modelling?



Thank you.
