GMM Singular Matrix Error

Postby cowabunga » Tue Jun 23, 2015 10:42 am

Hi,

I'm trying to estimate euler equation with delta-beta discount factor (attached workfile)
My input is
c(1)*r(+1)(1-(1-c(2)*apc))(cons_growth^-c(3))-1
Instrument :apc i inflation disp_income

I kept getting Singular Matrix msg.
I searched old thread and found that I should change initial values in which I cant find where.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Non-normality and collinearity are NOT problems!

Try setting c(2) and c(3) to what you think are reasonable guesses. Double click on the "C" object and enter values as you would for any other object.
