ask: how to apply control variable on Eviews?

[riza]

im using the eviews 6 enterprise edition

the model: CAR = a0 + b1AEit + b2CFOit + b3+CFFit +b4CFIit +eit

where:
CAR = cumulative abnormal return
AE= accounting earning
CFO= cash flow from operating activities
CFI= cash flow from investing activities
CFF= cash flow from financing activities

the sample taken from the periode 2005-2006 (2 years) with consist of 17 company's each year.

i'm using the pool regression method (panel data). and wants to use the Control Variable 'Total Asset'. which mean i want to split the sample into two categories (small asset and large asset). How to apply this in eviews? is it using dummy variable? please somebody explain these in-a-click way rather in eviews programming language. i already read the eviews user's guide but still dont get it.

thanks in advance.

Do you simply want to set the sample befor running the estimate?
smpl if total_asset>1000000
ls
smpl if total_asset<1000000
ls

@startz

im done with splitting the sample into two groups (smallfirm and largefirm). i defined it using @group at the pool object..is it correct?
and then..how do i insert and estimate the dummy variable (let say i want to name it the DSIZE var) in the new model:

CAR = a0 + b1DSIZEit + b2AEit + b3CFOit + b4+CFFit +b5CFIit +eit
where; smallfirm =0
largefirm=1

please help. this is for my thesis research. really confused with the manual. i'm so sorry if the question is simple. need further assistance!

thanks
