Programming/ Setting Value for Coefficients

[canboardrp]

I'm wondering if there's a way to set/force a coefficient to take on a specific value.

For example, is there way to set the following when I'm programming so that c(2) = -0.15 and that carries into the estimation and the output?

Code: Select all

LOG(TSEC ) = C(1) + C(2)*LOG(DIESEL)+C(3)*(POP) + C(4)*LOG(gdp)+ C(5)*DUMMYQ1 + C(6)*DUMMYQ2 +C(7)*DUMMYQ3

Can you be more specific? When you fix c(2)=-0.15, the term "c(1)-0.15*LOG(DIESEL)" will be the intercept in the equation.

To followup. The only way is to remove C(2) from the estimation. EViews doesn't allow you to have coefficients that aren't estimated.
