Here's my dependent variable:
Here's the problem:
Here's the "solution":
But that is not very satisfying. I have other variables in this dataset with the same label, but -mlogit- works fine. The labels are created by a do-file, not imported from another format. Why the strange error?
Code:
. tab catvar
