Quite likely you have perfect multicollinearity. If you post exactly what you did someone may be able to give more detailed advice

I believe the problem is that you have too many lagged variables for the number of observations available.

in this condition i must to show the existence of multicollinearity and remove it later to be able to use ARDL.This is it ?

or another sotluion ,
I will study each independent variable with the dependent variable, it would be better.

No, the only real answer is to get more data.

Thanks for your help.
I still have the same problem, or it is little or it is too important. In both situations I have nothing

You can't have more series (lagged or otherwise) than you have data points. If you've been able to increase your sample to substantially more than 15 points and you're still having trouble, you might want to post your workfile and details of what you've done to see if someone can catch something.

I can't go beyond 15 years, the data is limited.

Then I suspect you can't have a model with 9 variables. I know that's frustrating, but regressions aren't magic.

the problem is especially in the duration of 15 years and not the software.
Thanks for your help.
