Using E Views to estimate the Panzar Rosse Model

[Aqmar]

Hi,

I need some urgent help.

I have pretty much learned how to use E-Views using the book - Using E-Views for Principles of Econometrics by William E Griffiths.

However, basically I am trying to regress the equation known as the Panzar Rosee Model(picture of equation attached with this post) with this post. Essentially, I have to find the values B1, B2 and B3 which are the co-efficients of P1, P2 and P3.

I am using 14 banks over the period from 2005-2011. So, my timeline would be 2005 to 2011 and I would have a total of 9 independent variables and one dependent variable. I know how to regress this equation for perhaps one bank from 2005 to 2011 with 9 independent variables and one dependent variable. However, how will I be able to do this when I have 14 different banks, because through this equation using my sample of 14 banks I plan to assess the degree of competition in the uk banking industry.

For explanations sake, I can regress perhaps the equation GDP = CS+I+GS for UK from 2005-2011, but I cannot do so for perhaps UK, US, Japan combined. Kindly, can you advise me whether when I have more than one bank or country, shall my data then be cross-sectional data?

For further understanding of my problem, I have attached also a screen shot of the data relating to one of my variables, I have 8 other variables like this. I need to find B1, B2 and B3, from the equation applied to the sample 14 banks from 2005 to 2011.

Kind Regards,
Aqmar Chowdhury

Yes, pooled or panel estimations would be more appropriate for the purpose of your study. The following links might be of help: http://forums.eviews.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=74 and http://forums.eviews.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3784
