Dear trubador

Very appreciated to have a look my code and file.

I know there are no data until 10/31/2005. I need to run many models with different dependent variables (y1). The length of series varies. Some y1 have a longer period, some have a shorter period. Perhaps I need to tidy the matrix of dependent and independent variables data series first.

I don't understand why need to define the sample. The y1 data in the workfile is the sample I refer to.

LogL object refers to the sample period of the workfile, not the series used in estimation. Therefore, each time you change your variables you may need to adjust the sample accordingly prior to estimation to make sure that variables contain no missing values in the defined period.

Thanks trubador. I think that might be my problem is. I will work on that. Your guidance is very helpful.

Dear Trubador,

if i want to create four variate multivariate garch in mean model, what part of the program should i modify?

Hi all,
Again, I got the same message even using Eviews6 for bivariate GARCH: "!MLOG@PI is not defined in LOGL=-5*(!MLOG@PI+.......)"

Because it shoud read !mlog2pi. And it should be defined prior to logl specification as follows:

Code: Select all

' constant adjustment for log likelihood
!mlog2pi = 2*log(2*@acos(-1))

Dear Trubador & other experts,

I have the Eviews 8.1 version, and request your feedback on following. Will really appreciate your help. Any directions you can provide will be of immense help.
I am trying to run a GARCH-in-mean model with the following equation:

rd+1 = ad + βdvWdthdt+1 + βdc (1-wdt) hct+1 + θd1Edt + θd2Edt-1 + Edt+1

OR, conditional return = constant + Coefficient*(weight)*(conditional variance) + Coefficient*(weight)*(conditional Covariance) + one period prior's error + two period prior's error

OR, Basically, my GARCH-in-mean regresses conditional expected excess returns (t+1) of S&P 500 Index against the following factors: 1) conditional variance of itself i.e. S&P 500 2) conditional covariance with another market, 3) its error from current period (t) and 4) its error from one period back (t-1).

On Eviews, I did the following:
Quick--> Equation Estimation --> Specification--> I chose ARCH under Estimation Settings -->For ARCH-M I pulled down and chose Variance --> Now I'm stuck what to put under "Mean Equation" and "Variance Regressors".
Should I also be checking the box on "Options" for "Coefficient Covariance" ?

Since this is a completely "conditional" model, I am a bit lost with the specifications....Again, being a novice with Eviews and Econometrics, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Best Regards,
Srana

Equation Estimation dialog box allows you to model univariate GARCH models. You seem to look for bivariate GARCH estimation. System Estimation offers several multivariate GARCH methods, but you cannot specify "in-mean" models there. Unfortunately, you'll have to build your own model within the maximum likelihood framework.

Since this can be a very complicated task for "a novice in EViews and Econometrics", I suggest you to refer to a textbook for the theoretical background and go over EViews' help files and the forum for similar examples.

Hi all,
Currently I am trying to run a multivariate GARCH model spproach. But I still do not know the method run Multivariate models. Hope to get help from you. The model is attached below.I looking forward to find methods to run this model. You can guide your steps to run detail, because I used Eview not proficient. Thank' you very much.

There is no way to know what is wrong without having the actual data/workfile. Besides, I am fairly sure that the answer is already out there in the forum. Please search previous posts or similar threads.

Hi,
I am trying to estimate a bivariate-garch-in-mean for the Mexican economy and having a failure code "Missing values in @LOGL series at current coefficients at observation 2000M02 in "DO_ BV_GARCH_M.ML (SHOWOPTS, M=100, C=1E-5)". Although I change the s1, I am still having the same failure. I followed the whole previous posts but could not solve the problem. Can anyone help me what is the problem or how to solve it? The files are attached.
