Hi. I installed the Add-in BVAR. I tried to run it for 4 variables, 6 lags. Nothing happened. Any ideas? Thanks. BA

HI. I figured it out. However, I don't think (by=c or r) works. There are other ways of doing this as I found out from online Help. Thanks. BA

Hi. I'm trying to also get the impulses to a negative shock. I know IRFs should be reversed however, for paper presentation purposes I'd like to present IRFs for negative shocks. Eviews Help and also on this thread I saw the commands. When I enter the command, I get an error message. It doesn't reco...

Thanks much. Will give it a try. Best, BA

Hi. I'm using version 9.5. As a test I've captured my commands using command capture. Saved it as a text file. Trying to see if I can save my script and run it like a program anytime. Two issues: 1. when I pasted it to the command panel and tried to run them, nothing ran. For instance didn't recogni...

Hi. I'm using TVSVAR. I'd like o know which paper(s) are the basis for the TVSVAR program in Eviews. More specifically, I assume the following: 1. both the coefficient and variance covariance of the shocks are time variant. 2. Some type of restrictions are imposed on the reduced form estimated param...

I think you're asking for SSR (sum of squared of explained variation) and SST sum of squared of the total variation. Normally Excel will simply show the three in the ANOVA table where SST=SSErrors+SSReg, from there you can verify R-sq=SSReg/SST. Unfortunately I have not been able to observe SST and ...

Hi. Thanks much. Please see my worksheet copy. I'm using the pc version of the variables, i.e., %change. I copied the page of the workfile so that you can even see the results I got after the error message. Appreciate any insights. Thanks much. Best, B

Hi. I've reviewed the postings on the TVSVAR add-in. Very helpful, thanks. two issues: 1. I could not find the example data. 2. I'm using EV 9.5, my data runs from 2001m02-2016m02. I chose 2004m02, 2009m02 and 2016m02 for my date selection vector, no commas. I am getting the error message" Matr...

Hi. Thanks much. Clarifies it. Best, BA

Hi. I read the pdf file for the TV-SVAR model. Does the "impulse variable" mean the endogenous variable that is being shocked? Don't we normally shock all endogenous variables and check the response by others in VARS? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks very much. Best, BA

Hi. I'm new to add-ins. I tried to download tv_svar and open the prog in a workfile on eviews 9.5. Ended up with three files, tvsavr.prg, tvsavr.install.prg and tvsavr.ex.prg. Do I need to install before running the program? How do I install it? Any tips are appreciated. Thanks.
