Is it a simple AR(p) on each endogenous variable (p being endogenous lags)?

Yes, sigma_i^2s are the variances of residuals from univariate pth order autoregressions.

Re: BVAR (litterman prior)

EViews specifies the Litterman hyperparameters to be lambda1>0, lambda2 in [0,1] and lambda3>0. sigma_i and sigma_j are calculated by your choice of the initial covariance options: univariate AR, diagonal VAR, or full VAR estimates. According to your hyperparameters specification, EViews sets the co...

Re: Normal-Wishart Prior

Hi Adina, Yes, EViews implemented the conjugate Normal-Wishart prior and derived the analytical posterior results. The current EViews allows you to specify only 2 hyperparameters, mu1 and lambda1, for the coefficients Normal prior. The Wishart prior values are fixed as S = identity (scale matrix) an...

Re: BVAR Eviews8 Forecast

The variance of the coefficients is assumed to have the form with the *three* hyperparameters (please see the attachment).

Can you provide me your Matlab script and the name of the toolbox(es) required for the script? I would like to run the script to replicate the result.

Re: How to perform the cross-sectional dependence test (Pesa

Can you be more specific?

When you download the CDtest addin, EViews will lead you to save the CDtest addin in your *EViews Addins* (default) folder. Can you see the following four files in your *CDtest* folder?

Re: CDtest (cross-sectional dependence test)

There were computational issues because the given panel data is severely unbalanced (especially, *T<4*). Please reinstall your cdtest addin, and then you will see the following table with a warning message*. The table shows the NA* value for the Frees test because computation of the appropriate quan...

Re: Work with data from a txt file

I am very confused about your question. Are you trying to read your data from your ASCII file and create a new series which contains specific scalar values? read(t=dat) input.txt 2 will read data from an ASCII file *input.txt* in the default directory and show you 2 series, which are named to be SER...

Re: BPTest (Breusch-Pagan LM test for random effects)

This implies that your dataset is too large so that the SLM test cannot be performed. I would suggest to exclude the SLM test from the list for now.

I will figure out how to deal with the large dataset problem.

Re: Residual Plot

Standard deviations of residuals. If errors~N(0,1), then the dashed lines would be -1 and 1.
