Eviews Noob --- struggling with Assignment
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2015 9:56 am
Hello All,
I am a fourth year econ student, and my prof has assigned us to use Eviews with no prior knowledge or exposure to the course...that said I apologize if my question is a little disjointed. I know enough about Eviews to know that I don't know what I am doing. I am struggling in entering an equation from written form (which he gave us) to how it needs to be in Eviews (I am using Eviews 8 btw). The equation I have generated is "log(rvto7)=c(1)+c(2)log(taxrate)+c(3)log(gdp7)" Which I know is wrong because, he told us that I need to get a R2 value of 0.942152 where this gives me a data table of statistical values that does not include R2. Any thoughts?
I have also tried --> "log(rvto7)=c(0)+c(1)log(taxrate)+c(2)log(gdp7)" which gave me an error box which said, "0 is not a valid index for vector-series -coefficient C"
Many thanks,
JC
Edit: It needs to be for taxrate at t-1 --- so I would have to input a lag operator for taxrate
