Gravity model and data organization
Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2010 4:52 am
Hello everybody!
I am currently working on the gravity equation using panel data and I need your help to organize my data not directly in eviews but first in an excel file. The only idea I have to organize panel data in an excel file comes from the following topic:
http://forums.eviews.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=74
But in this case, it is quite simple since each cross section is a country. In the case of the gravity model I don't see how to solve the problem of organizing my data. Should I simply follow one of the first two excel examples in the topic quoted above but instead of taking each country separately taking each bilateral relation as a cross-section?
I don't know if you really understand what I mean but if you have tricks to help me to solve this problem, please help me
Thank you very much
