Thank you for your reply Gareth. I guess learning/writing algorithm is probably too much for me. I will stay with my old 'technique' for the time being. I might pick it up at a later time for future research though. Thanks for the hints. Regards.

Thank you for your reply. I will try it. Merry Christmas and happy New year!

Hi
I am running the following loop
scalar n=5 'number of time series (y1,y2,.....,90), (x1,x2,.....,90)
scalar ind=1 'input for loop

for !a=1 to 2
vector(N) LMxy 'returns LMstat for volatility spillover from x to y
vector(N) pvalxy 'returns corresponding pvalue for LMxy

Eviews 5.0 is giving an error as
for statement unterminated in For !a=1 to 2
can someone help me in getting this issue resolved?

Thanks

Do you have a
statement?

Hi friends,

while I am running the For loop on Eviews 5, I am getting that x{!i} is an illegal or not defined. The programmes written is as follows;

'after data upload and Y and each X are defined.
'run pairwise regressions between Y and each X
for !i=1 to 15
equation eq{!i}.ls y c x{!i}

Please help me out on this

Thanking you,
Regards,
Debasish

To be honest, EViews 5 is so old, I don't think anybody is going to be able to help. It doesn't even install on modern OSs.

EViews Gareth. Thanks for the detailed post.

1) Is there any reference manual to learn Eviews programming.
2) any training Eviews can provide to get familiarity with Eviews Programming.

The Command and Programming Reference (pdf available from the Help menu) has a chapter on programming.

Better are our two programming webinars:
http://www.eviews.com/Training/Prog1.html

http://www.eviews.com/Training/Prog2.html

Or, if those dates don't suit you, you can organise a custom date for you by emailing training@eviews.com

¿Cómo guardo los pasos que hago en eviews, en un program de eviews?

Currently there is no way to do that.

Is there a way to pass arguments to a program that I run using the 'exec' keyword? I know that I can of course define a variable before, but in that case the variable remains in the workspace (unless I delete it at least). Is it not in a way possible to do something like 'exec program.prg x=5' (to pass the argument x=5)?

Yes. Look up program arguments in the command and programming reference pdf

How can I store P value (or t-statistics) from Dickey fuller test to a matrix. I have more than 50 series, so I want to use code to improve my productivity. Tks a lot.

Hello, I am new user of eviews and econometrics in general and I have two questions. I have a similar task like the quoted post but the difference is that I would like to run regressions with hac errors and to store in a matrix more information than just the coefficients. I would like to store in a matrix coefficients, p values and r squared. However, before running regressions I applied unit root test and as most variables - not all- had unit root I applied the first difference for all variables. I applied again unit root test and now I cannot find unit root for any variable. I do not know if this is totally correct but please correct me if not. As I have done this process I am not sure if I should include the term c in my simple regressions. Could anyone help me with this please? Thank you in advance.

I am following this topic in order to write a short program to estimate market model regressions.

I have 100 dependent variables , named Y 1-100
and 100 independent variables , named x 1-100.
I would like to regress all the dependent variables y on a constant and the corresponding x.
So equations: y1 c x1 ,y2 c x2 etc.
Then I would like to store all the coefficients of c and x(i) in a matrix.
I have written the following program, which works for the regressions but does not succeed in storing the coefficients.

matrix(2,100) coefs
equation eq
for !i=1 to 100
for !j=1 to 100
if !i=!j then
equation eq{!i}_{!j}.ls y{!i} c x{!j}
colplace(coefs, eq.@coefs, !i)
endif
next
next


Could anyone tell me what is wrong here? Thanks in advance for your answer!
