Hi Experts,
Now I have the following 2SLS model: I have 25 year dummy variables and 48 industry dummies, which are shown yr1-yr24 and ind1-ind47.
proc syslin data=robtest1 2sls first;
endogenous lev;
instruments bcg_mtrnoint logpps size logavg mtb pci yr1-yr24 ind1-ind47;
model wage = logpps lev size logavg mtb pci yr1-yr24 ind1-ind47;
run;
When I run it, the log shows WARNING: The model is not of full rank. Least Squares solutions for parameters are not unique. Certain statistics will be misleading. A reported degree of freedom of 0 or B means the estimate is biased.
And my 1st ad 2nd stage results show "intercept" with DF "0". What does the warning mean and how do I correct my model? Thanks a lot!!!
Yes. That's why I have 24 year dummies and 47 industry dummy variables.
Thank you! I drop all my industry dummies and the warning disappeared. Does that mean among the industry dummies, there are the same or opposite variables?
Thank you very much! I'll try that.
