insufficient observation

Postby asadaf » Wed Jul 01, 2015 9:38 pm

Hi, I'm suffering with the issue that I got massage of insufficient no. of observations when I try to estimate a series that is log of square of another. I'm having balance panel data. how can I overcome this issue?

I have a panel of 340 observations. t=34 and N=10. the problem appear when I use log of GDP per capital series. without this variable estimation show no problem but I can't exclude this variable, I'm using eview 8.no observation of this series is missing.

thanks 4 ur help but problem is still there. when I use johanson cointegration by including this series (this time calculated through 2*lngdppc) I got a box indicating insufficient observations.
