This thread is about the psvar add-in that estimates Panel SVAR of Pedroni (2013).

The psvar add-in is updated. It now includes variance decomposition analysis.

Many thanks for this add-in, Dakila! Is there any tutorial or help file to understand how to run it and also the output it produces?

Dear dakila, when we use the variance decomposition analysis,it shows a error messages: matrix sent a function which operates on a vector.
can you give us some suggests?

Could you send the command or description of the date file or data file?

Hi Dakila,
I am also interested in the information on how the Panel SVAR addin can be used. I have been checking all manuals and there is nothing.
Please help

The add-in document (psvar.pdf) and example(psvar_ex1.prg) are located in folder C:\Users\...\Documents\EViews Addins\Psvar.

I encountered the same problem as jiangziyaok. When I added the variance decomposition option, it showed a error messages: matrix sent a function which operates on a vector. My data is in the attachment section.
In addition, I don't understand what e1, e2...en in the impulse response diagram is?
Can you give us some suggests?

What is the version of eviews you use? It works for my eviews.
For example, the following command is working:
psvar(ident=1, horinzon=10, vd=1) 5 @ dlntfp dlnhc

You do not need to take the first difference. The add-in automatically will take the first difference.

I use the eviews10. I also use your code "psvar(ident=1, horinzon=10, vd=1) 5 @ dlntfp dlnhc". However, i still shows: matrix sent a function which operates on a vector.

Maybe it's time to change my eviews version. QAQ.

When i click OK. It shows

Perhaps the result of the variance decomposition is in the above picture, but I don't know that it is the end result.
Also, can we do Panel Granger causality test by psvar?

Try to update the eviews 10 and try update the psvar add-in to the version 2.0. It is not possible to do Granger causality test using the psvar add-in.

@dakila, I'm trying ro run the program but I get the following error: "Error 29 in encrypted program". I'm using Eviews 10+, university edition, and it's up to date. Do you have any idea how to get around with this error? Thanks!
LE: it seems that the error pop ups because the panel is unbalanced. After I make it balanced loosing too many observations, the error dissapears. My question still stands: do you have any idea how to get around with this error?

Hi, Dakila,

I do not know if you received the database in PM, and to be sure, I attach it here too.
Thanks!
