Hello everybody!
I am new in the forum so please excuse me if this topic was already covered by somebody else but I couldn't find it..
My question is the following: do you know if there is a method in Eviews to auto-update the starting parameters in a system estimation?
I make myself clearer: I want to write a loop where I constrain the starting values of each iteration to be estimated parameters of the system in the previous iteration, HOW CAN I DO THAT? as far as I know the "sys.append param" command allows only for numbers to be written as starting values, while I would like to tell the program to use as starting values the parameters which I stored in a vector from previous estimation...
Can somebody help??

Thanks in advance :)

If you don't include a param statement in your system, then the starting values will be whatever is currently in the coefficient vector at the time of estimation. Thus an easy way to set starting values is to simply set the values inside the coefficient vector(s). Also, after estimation, the coefficient vectors will be filled with the estimated values. Thus, in your case, you don't need to do anything at all, for each estimation your starting values will be equal to the previous iteration's estimated values.

Thanks!
That was easy...I just thought that worked for equations and not for systems...
thank you so much again*
