Thank you for your response.
But when I try to estimate the System, it says "No valid observations in Equation "y = C(1)*X1(-1)...+C(7)"
(I'm using 2 variables, 3 lags, with 13 observations)
Is there any solution to it?
Will Eviews 6.0 resolve the problem?

Dear Eviews Gareth please respond if you are there.
Your advice is really valuable to me.
Is there any way I could conduct WALD on VAR having faced the above problems?

Dear Eviews Gareth...

Thanks a ton for your response. I was trying to estimate VAR on natural-log values, due to which Eviews was having problem while estimating OLS for 3rd order lagged values. After reverting back to the original data (log-free), the problem has been resolved and it estimates the system, as well as runs WALD restrictions perfectly.

May God bless you.

To those asking how to estimate a TY (1995) test in this thread, see:

http://davegiles.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04 ... ality.html

which explains how to do it in eviews in a very, very simple fashion.

Best wishes

Hey
I am using Eviews 9 to test T-Y Granger causality test
I want to do a Granger Non-Causality test in EViews within a VAR --- but --- I want to exclude the last lag in doing so. That means I just want to test whether the coefficients a_1, ... a_(p-1) are significantly different from zero. I do not want to include a_p in this test. Any suggestion how this is easily done?
Thanks 8) 8) 8)

I am using eviews 8. I have estimated a var. Then have converted VAR into a system which is as follows:
P11 = C(1)*P11(-1) + C(2)*P11(-2) + C(3)*P14(-1) + C(4)*P14(-2) + C(5)

P14 = C(6)*P11(-1) + C(7)*P11(-2) + C(8)*P14(-1) + C(9)*P14(-2) + C(10)

I want to perform one wald test where i want to test if C(1)+C(2)=0 and another test on if C(3)+C(4)>C(6)+C(7)

After converting var into a system, i am getting only 3 options in view which are: system specification, gradients and derivatives and label. There is no option named coefficients test menu in view. How to perform the above mentioned tests???

Need help
