Total factor productivity

Postby Rouzbeh » Tue Apr 12, 2011 1:51 pm

Hi.

During the last semester I have been studing how to measure the total factor productivity, and now I am trying to measure the correlation between total factor productivity and bunch of macroeconomics determinants, like inflation, GDP, FDI etc in the last 30 years. I have never done any time series analysis, but I am quite familiar with linear regression analysis. I know that a lot of testes have to be done, before I can even think about a regression analysis. So I wonder if anyone can give me some tips about where to start. I have read some econometrics books, and I have been working with Eviews. I have all the data I need. Here is the file I have made in Eviews.
I was wondering if someone could look at the data, if there is autocorrelation, heteroscedasticity etc. All the data is measured by finding the growth rate for each year. Should I use real data, or use the growth rates? I thought that when the dependent variable (TFP) is measured by calculating the growth rate, so the other variables should be measured in the same way. I could need all help.

I can help you surely and can make the necessary correction in the file you posted below only if you change the format of the file or guide me about the software.
Hoping that you are going to update the new file soon.
