[Limdep Nlogit List] inclusive value contraint

Kandice,

I think the ;ivset command might be looking for a choice rather than a
variable.

Subject: [Limdep Nlogit List] inclusive value contraint

Hi -
I am estimating a nested logit model using sequential estimation.
Tree = [cnsb(corn, soybean), wheat, other]

I estimate the lower level and get the inclusive values.  When I
estimate
the upper level, I only want the inclusive values to be included in the
cnsb
option, thus the parameter on the inclusive value for wheat and other
should
equal zero.

My coding is as follows (assuming I already have estimated the lower
level
and gotten the inclusive values) (I normalize on 'other'):
nlogit;
lhs = ulev;
choices, ucs, uwheat, uother;
rhs = one, edb1, edb2, edc1, edc2, occup1, occup2, age1, age2, agesq1,
agesq2, liv1, liv2, sl051, sl052, ecap1, ecap2, iva0, ivb0$

The values of iva0 and ivb0 are the same, it's just the way the data is
set
up.  So I want to include the inclusive value for ucs (ie estimate the
parameter value for the inclusive value) but restrict the parameter
value to
zero for the wheat option (because ivb0 does not equal zero, so the
parameter should so it's not included in the utility function).

I have tried to use
ivset: (ivb0)=[0];
but it doesn't recognize it.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
Kandice.
