RE: st: Warning convergence not achieved

Dear Ebru,

It may be the case that one of your industry dummies is equal to 1 only when
y is equal to zero. If that is the case, like others have suggested, you may be 
able to bypass the problem by grouping some industries.

Also, as I suggested before, run a probit with the industry dummies and see
if you have a "perfect predictor"

All the best,

Joao
