Here's an initial look at the size of your problem:

Cases[{\!\(
\*UnderoverscriptBox[\(\[Sum]\), \(h = 2\), \(Length[y]\)]\(hca[A, c, h,  
y, \[Beta]0, \[Beta]1, \[Beta]2, \[Beta]3, \[Sigma], \[Gamma]]\)\),(\!\(
\*UnderoverscriptBox[\(\[Sum]\), \(s = 2\), \(Length[y]\)]\(hca[A, c, s,  
y, \[Beta]0, \[Beta]1, \[Beta]2, \[Beta]3, \[Sigma], \[Gamma]] .  
Transpose[hca[A, c, s, y, \[Beta]0, \[Beta]1, \[Beta]2, \[Beta]3,  
\[Sigma], \[Gamma]]]\)\))},_Symbol,Infinity];
%//Length
%%//Union//Length
95139
43

That's 95,139 mentions of 6 variables and 37 unknown parameters. In  
addition, you've equated matrices... which isn't legal syntax in NSolve, 
AFAIK. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) I'm surprised NSolve even tries.

On top of that, the following:

Sum[hca[A, c, h, y, \[Beta]0, \[Beta]1, \[Beta]2, \[Beta]3, \[Sigma],  
\[Gamma]], {h, 2, Length[y]}]

when evaluated, involves terms such as

2[{1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 3, 2,
   1}, 2, \[Beta]0, \[Beta]1, \[Beta]2, \[Beta]3, \[Sigma], \[Gamma]]

3[{1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 3, 2,
   1}, 3, \[Beta]0, \[Beta]1, \[Beta]2, \[Beta]3, \[Sigma], \[Gamma]]

and so forth. Probably that's not what you intended, right?

Fix that, change the matrix equations into scalar equations (Thread might  
help), and try again.
