panel regression

[Aesop]

Hi guys,

I'm having abit of trouble understanding the eviews guide to pool estimation and was wondering if I could get some help. The setup of my data is currently:

firm 1
1997Q1 - 2009Q4

firm 2
2001Q1 - 2010Q2

firm3
1999Q1 - 2009Q2

I am using the same variables for each firm.

What I basically want to do is combine all this data together and run a single regression.

I'm trying to get my head around the 'pool' object but I just can't seem to get anywhere using the guide.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

For that data structure, you are better off using the panel setup.
