EViews.com

Hello,

I have an unbalanced data set I'd like to import into Eviews from Excel. However I am having trouble getting Eviews to recognise my data properly.

The Dataset consists of around 29000 observations, and has an idcode for every individual. From 1968 - 1988 each individual was interviewed a different number of times, rendering my panel data unbalanced.

Is anybody able to help me with this? The dataset in excel is attached.

Many Thanks

No attachment.

Sorry, here we go!

Thanks.

If I drag that file on to EViews, it automatically detects the panel structure without me needing to do anything. Just clicking "Finish" works.

Hello,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I ended up with the following on Eviews, and it looks like it has recognised the panel data!

I take it as I am ready to start creating dummy variables for my years, and running my regressions.

Thank you so much!

And the following for the years variable
