xtsur

[Francis abayateye]

Hi All,
I am estimating GL cost function using a panel data. I have the cost function and input-output ratio functions and ran all using xtsur command as below;

#delim ;
xtsur (TC c.Q#c.Pn c.Q#c.Pl c.Q#c.Zm c.Q#c.sqrPlsqrPn
c.Q#c.sqrZmsqrPn c.Q#c.sqrZmsqrPl c.sqrQ#c.PnsqrK c.sqrQ#c.PlsqrK
c.sqrQ#c.ZmsqrK PnK PlK ZmK) (N_Q sqrPlDsqrPn sqrZmDsqrPn sqrKDsqrQ KoverY)
(L_Q sqrPnDsqrPl sqrZmDsqrPl sqrKDsqrQ KoverY) (Qd_Q sqrPnDsqrZm sqrPlDsqrZm sqrKDsqrQ KoverY)
;
#delim cr

But I had the error message below of which I don't understand what it means or how to fix it. Any one with an idea?


classdef _b_stat() in use
(nothing dropped)
(327 lines skipped)
(error occurred while loading xtsur.ado)
r(310);

Thanks,
Francis

Francis.
is your copy of Stata fully updated?

[Francis abayateye]

Hi Carlo,
Yes, I am using stata 12 and updated it just before the estimation.

Thanks,

Francis:
the following Stata thread might be useful: https://www.stata.com/statalist/arch.../msg00969.html

I am also facing the same issue ... Any leads on this?
I also tried xtsur installation but in vain.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much Carlo Lazzaro. After using the command findit ccmatch and installing ccmatch the problem with xtsur dissapeared.
Best regards,

Hello,

this code is due to a bug in mata: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...rtual-function

To resolve it, open the xtsur.ado file, and at the beginning of the mata section (line 192 in version 1.0.4), add the following line:

mata clear

This works for me.

Best wishes,
Paul-Olivier.

The current version of xtsug is version 1.0.4. Adding mata clear at line 192 (beginning of the mata section) worked for me as well. bob kraut

I had the same problem with the xtsur file and edited it for the "mata clear" as above. Now I'm getting a "command IsStop is unrecognized". I see the isStop code at a few places in the xtsur.edo file, but I can't find any documentation for or reference to such a command anywhere. Help? Running an updated version of Stata14.
