SRVAR & EViews 13

[fmramos]

Hi everyone!

Have any of you tried the add-in srvar in EV13? I'm getting the "Error 247 in the encrypted program" even with .prg examples. My EV13 build is the Jun 14, 2023, enterprise edition. Meanwhile, coming back to struggle with R packages... :-(

Any help is highly appreciated!

Yes, I will try to update it soon for Eviews 13.

Done.

Great to see it updated. The examples run nicely in both EV12 (my work) and in EV13 (personal PC). However, I can smoothly only the two examples you give (based on Uhlig seminal paper, based on both penalties/draws). For my personal data (Brazil REER, financial and macro variables), I can run only if files are stored inside the Add-in directory and it runs intermittently. Sometimes, with a EViews clean window it runs. But usually, the same message of 'encrypted program'. Anyway, tks. I was already able under some circumstances to not use the R library for this. ;-)

A post-script... Apparently I can run anything if I estimate through .prg. It goes bad if I try to use command prompt and/or visual buttons/commands.

I will try to fix it soon.

If you use the dialog box (menu) you don't need to create the restriction vector, just put the sign index. For example, just insert +4, -2, -3, -5 in the sign restriction vector box.
