selected range

Hi there,

I do not seem to find the way for something very trivial. How to compute stuff for selected observations of a series? E.g. the series / page spans from 1980q1 to 2014q4, and wanted be its mean over until 2000q4.

Thanks a lot.

Re: Is using levels VAR for nonstationary series a problem?

Thank you a lot for the quote, trubador! Maybe I was thinking a wrong direction with the spurious regression and falsely attributing a relationship between variables. Maybe a better direction to think about this is to look at the purpose of the VAR vs. VECM procedure, and eventual differencing or in...

Re: Is using levels VAR for nonstationary series a problem?

Thanks for reply, trubador. For me personally your view is just fine. I do not blind look on econometric tests to see if variables have a meaningful relationship or not. My concern is because I seem to encounter everywhere the dictate to test for cointegration and consequently go to a VAR in level o...

Is using levels VAR for nonstationary series a problem?

Hi Guys, I have a bunch of I(1) and I(0) variables for which I want to use levels VAR. I mean, I skip the usual cointegration / VAR vs. VECM stuff. I get a stable VAR with serially independent residuals, although not normal. My questions: 1. I want to know what is the worst possible fail of not appl...
