Free modelling lessons on-line with Zoom
I am Jean Louis Brillet, the author of the book on structural modelling, available at: https://www.eviews.com/StructModel/structmodel.html Some of the modelers in EViews should have used it. The response has generally been favorable. Now, I just had an idea. I would be willing and available to produ...

Encounterd an improper argument
I have this message:
" Encountered an improper argument "
with a white cross in a red disk.
While saving a file.
But the program keeps working (and the file is saved).

EViews breaks down every two program runs
Hello,
For some time now I get the message "EViews has stopped working" almost every two runs of the same program....
It disappeared for a while but is on again.

Re: Different expressions for same endogenous using scenarios
Another way of doing it is using a scalar parameter:
scalar p=1
model1.append x=(p=1)*f1+(p=2)*f2
Beware that you have to "update" the model after changing the value.
If you do not want to do this you should define the parameter as a series
generate p=1
model1.append x=(p=1)*f1+(p=2)*f2
scalar p=1
model1.append x=(p=1)*f1+(p=2)*f2

Re: Dummy Variables
Hello from Paris, In my opinion, the easiest way of manipulating dummy variables is the following; Create a time trend using the date and adding a fraction to the previous value in case of quarterly data. For quarterly data over a 1980 - 2020 period: smpl 1980q1 1980q1 genr t=1980 smpl 1980q2 2020q4...

show gets you out of Eviews 9
Hello from Paris, I have a problem with EViews 9. When I try to SHOW (from the command window) a non-existent variable under EViews 9, the program stops working. Does anybody face this problem? Also, I am just finishing an addition to my book on modeling describing the changes due to EViews 9. There...

Re: Actuals instead of solved values
Hello from Paris, The Exclude command does it. However there is a big problem: the command actually drops the equation from the model (for the associated periods). If the equation is estimated, OK : the behavior is replaced by an exogenous decision. The model has one less variable and one less equat...

Re: Basic question on setting up EViews object
A late hello.... Eviews registers as endogenous the FIRST variable in the equation. So D, S and P should appear once, and once only, as the first element. This means this model will not work : D = f(P, x) S= f(P,y) S = D But you can : * Invert the fiirst equation to give P. * Permute one equation, g...

How to avoid the "divide by zero" when computing the relative error on a null variable. In the economic domain, no variable is null by chance. The relative variation on a null variable should be considered as zero, but for Eviews any division by zero fails with an annoying and maybe mislea...
