Hello,

I have a basic regression model and I want to import a threshold price, so that the independent variable has two coefficients instead of one.
For example if we have the regression y=α+β*x what i want is to convert it in y= α+β*χ(if x>5)+γ*x(if x<5).

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

The trick is that a logical condition yields a 1 if true and a 0 if false.

That works perfect thank u.

In connection with the problem presented by Dusan, is it possible to perform a similar estimation where the threshold level is endogenously determined (and not User-defined) along with the model's coefficients (single independent variable plus a constant)? Is there a simple procedure for estimating such a model by using Eviews?

Any advice would be strongly welcomed. Thanks.

Hi,
Concerning Threshold regression, I want to replicate a result of a study on inflation and growth but I am new to software packages. I would be happy if anyone can help me with the steps involve in finding the threshold at which inflation spurs or hurts growth.

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps lookup "threshold in the EViews help system.

Thanks!
