ARDL model and lags

[gmazella]

Hi,
I am doing a project for my econometrics class and I am not sure how to run the proper models to complete it. We were given a set of data for federal funds rate and inflation rate and need to estimate an ARDL model of the fed funds rate as a function of inflation. I know how to do the basic "estimate equations" but I don't know if ARDL falls under that or not. I believe I am supposed to use the equation editor and test each variable with different lags (using "-1" for 1 lag, etc) but I am not entirely sure, so any help on how to do ARDL models would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi
I faced this problem in the last year, and found that Eviews could not help in that matter. After in depth search I found new methodology calld 'gets' general to specific which invented by Daved Hendry could help you but it need to use new software calld 'PcGive' , where the software itself do all required test to solve the problem.
