Can you update your copy of EViews 8 so we are looking at the same thing? You're over a year out-of-date.

I am using the University server to access EViews and they do not allow me to update. I will contact the IT department to ask about that.. I'll keep you posted.

I'm having trouble getting the programs to run as there is a lot of system specific stuff there that doesn't run on my computer. Can you try to strip it down so that it's not doing the file saves and the like?

I commented all these bits out.. If you put all the programs + workfile in one folder, then it should run..

Program 2 still gives some errors. As to program 1, it was running for a couple of hours before I stopped it. Should it take that long?

To reduce the run time, you could set line 95 (the sample loop) to, for example, "for !f = 30 to 50". Then it will only do the estimations for sample period 30 till 50.

With respect to program two, I downloaded it on my computer and it runs ok.. What error do you get? Did you set "Maximum numbers before halting" to a high number?

Just to let you know that my EViews is now updated to Standard edition - May 13 2014 build.

The problem, however, is not sorted.

For example, when I run the program for France and sample 45 and I run the program for France for samlpe 43 to 45 (in a loop), then I get different results (i.e. different number is my matrix "bestmodel_fr45 and different number of iterations in the objects "best3_fr45")..

Any news on your end?

Regards
S

??? I don't get these errors? What did you change in the program? Did you set !f equal to 0 or to _0?

Posted: **Thu May 29, 2014 3:20 pm**

Just to update you. Restored programs to originals and ran. Identical results in bestmodel_45 columns 1 and 2 in the respective workfiles. More importantly, identical values for best3_fr45 in the two workfiles. Trying out a couple of hypotheses right now.

I've been playing with this for a few days now and consistently getting the same results for BEST3_FR45 in the two programs.
