Hi Guilherme,

I am working on a similar issue. Have you looked at Brian Poi's recent
Stata Journal article (Vol 12 No 3, 2012, pp-433-446) on "quaids"? It
allows to calculate price elasticities without the need for any
programming. Hope you find it useful.

After I estimate the model, I want to use delta method to calculate all coefficients and elasticities at the average values for budget shares, expenditure and prices. But I'm have some problemas wiht the delta method. After I run the codes, Stata give me this message: unknown function (). I don't know what it is.
