It seems that i was not able to be write what i mean clear enough.
My question is almost the same as:
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2011-04/msg00351.html
constraint 1 [_ce1]ln_ne = -1
constraint 2 [_ce1]ln_se =  1
vec ln_ne ln_se, bconstrainsts(1/2)
But what I want (which is different) is that I want the constant to be
zero (i.e. dropped in the cointegrating vector).
Below i have copied in my table, where I am saying that lnprice is
zero in the cointegrating vector, but I want the constant to be zero.
        beta |      Coef.   Std. Err.      z    P>|z|     [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------
_ce1         |
     lnprice |  (omitted)
      lnrent |   2.505605   .8862366     2.83   0.005     .7686126    4.242596
        lnAM |  -2.238693   .9118165    -2.46   0.014    -4.025821   -.4515656
       _cons |  -2.000826          .        .       .            .           .
Is that possible?
Best regards,
