| Subject | st: VECM: Stata drops variable |
| Date | Mon, 11 Jul 2011 10:03:58 +0200 |
Dear Statalist,
estimating a VECM with Stata 10, Stata automatically drops coefficients of variables in the cointegrating equation:
(lags 2, rank 2)

_ce2 3 135.9643 0.0000

I wonder why. And I also need especially these variables to form part of the cointegrating matrix beta.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Best,
Barbara
