Can anyone help me how to run non-linear fixed effects on Eview? If i have equation like Y=a+b+b^2+c+c^2, what should i write in the command on Eviews?

Are a,b, and c series with coefficients to be estimated?

a is the intercept while B and C is beta. Am i answering your question? sorry...i am new on Eviews so I do not really understand about your question.

As written, your equation doesn't seem to have any data in it.

Thank Startz for your prompt response. Please find the actual equation on the attached file. All of equation is data. I am using panel data in Eviews.

This equation is linear in the coefficients, so it's estimated by linear least squares. Nothing special needs to be done about the fixed effects.

Based on your explanation, does it mean that I can run it the same way as I run linear fixed effects, right?
I did run it using the same way as linear fixed effect with just different equation that I showed you. However, the result came out that p-value is higher than 60% for all variables.

Well, then the individual coefficients aren't significant.
You might want to test the joint significance of beta1 and beta2 or beta3 and beta4.

What do you mean by running join significant? May I know how to do it? Do you have any link to share for this?

By doing so, it will no longer be a fixed effect estimator, right?

No, this is just a test of coefficients. You can do it either with fixed effects or without fixed effects.

i cannot find those option based on the guideline. The guideline is in version 10 while mine is version 9.

Look in the built-in help system under Wald test/coefficient restriction

Hi, after doing further research, non linear time fixed-effects might fit my study.
May i know how to write equation in Eviews if i want to use time fixed-effects.
I use this equation as non-linear fixed effects (Y c A _A^2 B B^2 lngdp crisis_year)
Then i tried the same equation on time fixed-effect and tick Fixed on both Cross-section and Period in Panel Option, but it shows "Near singular matrix".
Your prompt response is really appreciated.
