  • Robinson's Semi parametric estimator with large number of dummy variables

    Hi All,

    I am working with a (confidential) dataset that conains in it an explanatory variable, two covariates, and a bunch of dummy variables, corresponding to year and country fixed effects. I wish to estimate this model using Robinson's root n consistent estimator (partially linear model). In two separate commands, I have generated dummy variables for the country and year effects using for instance:

    tab year, gen(y)

    and similarly for country:

    tab country, gen(i)

    I then use the command:

    semipar y x1 i* y*, nonpar(x2)

    where the covariate x2 is allowed to be non parametrically identified.

    However, stata returns the error message:
    __00000I not found

    This is quite perplexing as when I estimate the model linearly, the commands work just fine. Is this a problem specific to the semipar command?

Working...
