Retrieving coeffs from a pool estimation

[dagfinnrime]

Hi,

I want to save the cross-sect specific coeffs from a pool estimation in series with the cross-sectional identifiers in the same way as the variables in my data are identified with cross-sectional identifiers. The following code does what I want:

Code: Select all

for !i = 1 to p_lrv99.@ncross %ccy = p_lrv99.@idname(!i) series c_lrv99_{%ccy} = c(37+!i) next

My question: Is there an easy way to acheive this right out of the pool-object?

Why do I want this? I'm trying to do a Fama-MacBeth type two-step asset-pricing in Eviews.
Step 1: time-series regression of each cross-section (asset) return on a common "risk factor"
Step 2: cross-section regression of "expected" return (say average) on coeffs from step 1.

Maybe a neater way to do this in Eviews?

Thanks in advance,

Dagfinn

That's probably the best way to do it.
