1. It doesn't use the user specified breaks, but uses dates which are two years after the specified breaks.
Code: Select all
%f = "test_file"
close {%f}
wfcreate(wf={%f}) q 2000 2015
smpl 2001 2015
series s1 = nrnd
series s2 = nrnd
series s3 = nrnd
smpl 2002 @last
equation eq1.BREAKLS(method=user, breaks="2006q1 2011q4") s1 s2 s3
show eq1
2. With the code above try to change the method to sequential tests of single l+1 versus l breaks. If you use the GUI EViews crashes. But if you do it with code it doesn't crash:
Code: Select all
equation eq1.BREAKLS(method=seqplus1) s1 s2 s3
ps it seems that there is a typo on page 283 of EViews 8 Command and Programming Reference
-> breakls(method=user, breaks=”1990q1 2010q4”) m1 c @nv unemp
