hi

I have price and quantity demanded data on 16 commodities for more than 150 households. I want to estimated parameters of Linear Expenditure System to get demand elasticities, but I am facing problem of having negative value of R-Square for some commodities. can someone please help me

Thank you

the equation system i am using is: (pls check is it very right?)
