Indicator function not activating?
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2015 11:00 pm
Hello Mr. Pfeifer, thank you for a past inquiry of mine regarding the timing of endougenous variables.
This time I have an inquiry about my results, I hope you can illustrate me about the issue.
I have the following code which spits some outputs:
Where the 3rd equation of the model contains a section that activates when n is less than zero.
Nevertheless, when I run the model excluding all that section, I get the same results.
"Excluding all that section" means that the third equation would be:
Do you know why am I getting the same results in both cases? The indicator function is not activating even when I can check that n has been effectively less than zero for several periods?
Thank you again.
