Redundant variables test and restricted sample
Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2014 10:49 am
Hello. I use EViews 8. I have 40 countries for 56 years in the data. Of course, there are many missing values. I did pool estimation and tried to do the redundant variables test, but only saw the following error message:
"Test specifications have different samples due to NAs in original or test series. Reestimate original equation with restricted sample and rerun test."
Would you please let me know how to restrict the sample? I'd like to do a redundant variables test on the country-specific effects. Please refer to the attached files.
"Balance Sample" leaves no observation, thus it's not an option. The same error appears when I checked the "No d.f. correction" box. I know the command "sample" and "smpl", but I don't know what to sample.
Thank you very much.
