Then in what way do you suggest that I use intercept dummy specifications?

Do you mean the c(1) and c(2)? Well, that was the way in which I was taught in my lecture to incorporate intercept dummies into an equation.
Or are you talking about something else?

Well, I seem to have hit another brick wall. Starting to feel stupid now... Anyway, if I implement your previous suggestion into my 'test program' it works like a charm. The only issue is that I also want to incorporate dummy variables. Now for slope-dummies there is no problem at all; I just create...

Thanks Gareth! That should serve my purposes for as far as I can see now!

You're the best :)

Which was exactly my point. Since some of the business units do not have certain activities, they miss the variable specific to that activity and therefore the groups have unequal sizes . I already said this a few posts back, but maybe I was a bit fuzzy in explaining it. Let me give a short example;...

Hey Gareth, I thought up of something else; if I simply (duh.) define the number of iterations of the loop and let every group change with a step size of 1 with each iteration I should hit gold, right? Well, no. If I do this (see attached files) the issue that originally lead to this thread pops up....

Thanks for the response Gareth :) Now that you've said it, seeing the problem is actually quite simple. Alas, my programming knowledge is really small and now I'm having trouble to create a single loop in such a way that I only get the 3 equations that I want. I've tried putting them in as string va...

Hi Gareth, Thanks for the suggestion using the fitted values; that works like a charm! Anyways, I wondered if my program would work so I tried it on a generated datatset (I just generated some random number series for some of the variables) and made my program a bit smaller so that it would fit the ...

To be honest, I'm not finished gathering the data yet (company IT issues) so I haven't gotten a chance to run my program as of yet. I'm just working ahead a bit now, so maybe I'm just a bit paranoid and it will all work fine when I run it :). I do have another question, I've been looking for solutio...

Hey Gareth, Let me give a short example; suppose I have 3 Business Units (A, B, C). I have 6 variable groups, which all contain time series for each business unit. Except business unit 'B' only has 5 variables for, say, the first 5 groups. This means (I assume, anyway) that I will have the following...

Dear EViews crew and other users, I have a problem which I haven't seen around this forum as of yet, if any of you does know a thread containing a solution or discussion please let me know! Anyways, my problem is as follows: I'm doing my master thesis with this company which wants to evaluate it's b...
