PMG/ARDL fails to run/produces error

[kate_j]

Dear everyone,

I am new to Eviews, and I have recently moved to home office (as most of us I guess).

I am analyzing real estate prices using panel data for a number of years/countries. It has been working fine at work (with a paid licence). I am using a demo version of Eviews 11 at home. That's when my PMG/ARDL estimation stopped working.

When I upload my data file, the data are recognized by Eviews as a panel (s. capture). But when I choose "Quick -> Estimate Equation -> PMG/ARDL" I get this error message: "log(hpi) is not defined". Other methods of equation estimations DO WORK. I need to run a PMG/ARDL though, because my variables are non-stationary (house prices, income, population).

I have tried everything I could think of. Nothing helps. Is this because I'm using a demo version? Hope someone could help.

Best
Kate

This is a bug in current shipping EViews (of which the COVID Demo license is a version). We'll fix it asap.

In the mean time, try doing it via command line.

Or, specify the equation in all caps:

Code: Select all

LOG(HPI) LOG(INC) LOG(POP)
