Re: FAVAR add-in
Dakila - Thank you for the useful add-in. Is there a way to apply the scaled IRF add-in to the FAVAR add-in?
Re: FAVAR add-in
Good idea. I will try to code it.
Re: FAVAR add-in
Thank you, Dakila. Is there a possibility of running cumulative IRFs in your add-in?
Re: FAVAR add-in
Yes, It actually do the cumulative IRFs when you transform the variable. For example, if you put the transformation code 4 or 5 it will accumulate the IRFs.

Hi,
I tried to get the factors by the usual way of principal components, but I didn´t have the same series. Also I can see that the final factors used in VAR have "rot" in its labels. Does it have any other treatment, or could you please tell me the way to get it? Thanks!

Re: FAVAR add-in
"ROT" means the rotated factors. In order to estimate the factors do the following steps:
1) estimate factors (C) using all variables except FFR (you did this step)
2) estimate slow moving factors (Fs) from the slow moving variables.
3) estimate the regression by OLS : C=b1*Fs + b2*FFR + e
4) estimate the rotated factors : C-b2*FFR

Re: FAVAR add-in
Thank you! I got them but with a very small difference. Maybe that's because I didn't standardize my variables (since all of them were stationaries), do you think thats made the difference?
Re: FAVAR add-in
Yes, I think that made the difference.
Re: FAVAR add-in
Hello, I want to apply FAVAR on eviews but I found difficulties in entering variables on the dialog box, please can you help me?
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot.
Re: FAVAR add-in
Did you read the instruction which is located in C:\Users\...\Documents\EViews Addins\FAVAR (Favar Package.pdf)?
Re: FAVAR add-in
Yes but I still have problems!
Could you explain how to enter variables polease.
Thanks a lot.

Re: FAVAR add-in
there is an example program which replicates BBE (2005)
After running this code, fill the boxes. (Please see the attachment)
Code: Select all
' BBE (2005) replicaton
' Figure 2
' Table 1
%path = @runpath
cd %path
' open the BBE data that is transformed to induce stationarity
wfopen(type=txt) nsbalpanel.txt delim=space

'rename some variables
for !i=1 to 9
rename series0{!i} series{!i}
next
'standardize all variables for principal component analsyis
for !i=1 to 120

next
'Y variables
genr ffr=series77
'All variables (X) except Y variable (FFR)

Re: FAVAR add-in
if you have missing value, change the sample size.
