You will have to modify the code to do this yourself.

difficult for me to modify the program i'm not an expert like you :oops:
it's very important for me to use this Add-in in three methods OLS, GLS and GMM.

how can show the graph of linear regression for the first and second step in the spool object.

Kind Regards. MED

What exactly do you want to show?

1-show regression line with scartter: pr11 c rmkt, pr12 c rmkt,...etc (the first step); it takes a long time to do this.
2-show regression line with scartter: avrgrate c beta01 (the second step).
3-how can store the avrgrate in the series and calculate it by the command (i can do this manually)?
i hope that you understand me now.
Kind Regards. MED

Are you asking how to do this with commands?

For #1 and #2, use

Code: Select all

group g1 rmkt pr11
g1.scat linefit

And so on. This code fragment can go in a loop.

For #3, look in the code to see how avgrets is calculated.

Hi guys!! I am new here at forum.
I was told to run fama-macbeth and take the fitted/predicted values of the regression(about debt and leverage factors) :D = pr +s+ gr+ tng+ nbts+ dr+ liq and then, use them as proxy for the target debt of each firm. How i can take the predicted/fitted values of the aforementioned regression by using fama-macbeth ?
Thank you in advance!

Hi!

I'm hoping someone can help. I'm trying to use the Fama-MacBeth add-in to test the relationship between abnormal returns (alpha) and expense ratios of mutual funds (see for example Carhart 1997). So I have the raw return data for the mutual funds, alongside the return data on the Fama French factors (exrm, smb, hml) and Carhart's momentum factor (mom). Hypothetically, if I were to also obtain the expense ratio data, how would I use the Fama-MacBeth add-in to analyse this relationship? :cry:

The example in the add-in only assesses the sensitivity of all portfolios to one column vector (rmkt). But I want to assess each portfolio's sensitivity to it's own expense ratio? I'm not sure if the Fama-MacBeth can do this or if I should be looking at the loop/roll programming stuff?

It's not clear to me what you want to do. The first step of the Fama-MacBeth regression will regress your portfolio returns on whatever factors you choose. The resulting betas (see Equation 1 in the doc) are reported in the "bhat" object.

Hi,
i'm trying to run the Fama-MacBeth Regression. I have one dependent variable and 10 independent. However, I receive the message 'near singular matrix in rowplace(g, @transpose(@inverse(@transpose(design) * design) * @transpose(design) * retvec), j)'. Then it creates an object called retsm01. What is it? How can I solve it?

Thanks

The dependent value is cash_assets and factors are the ones starting with F*

I noticed that your workfile only has one dependent variable. Fama-MacBeth is intended for a portfolio of assets. Using only one asset will lead to problems in the cross-sectional regression step. See Equation 2 in the doc.
