Hi guys,

I am trying to estimate a model containing two linear equations.

(1) R = a0 + a1Vt-1 + a2ABt-1

I want to use the estimated R from equation 1 and use it as an independent variable in the second equation:

(2) Q = a0 + a1(R) +.....

I can obviously estimate equation 1 with standard OLS, however, I have no idea how to save these estimated R values in eviews
in order to use it in the second equation.
Also, I was wondering if there is an eviews function where you can view a graph of the estimated equation, I can only find a graph
of the residuals of the equation.

Thank you very much in advance!

You want the fitted values from Equation 1, which can be obtained by hitting the forecast button (fitted values are just a static forecast over the original estimation sample, after all).

What does a "graph of the estimated equation" mean?

Thank you very much!

Forget what I said about the graph, cause I get it now :D

I have one more question.

I also estimate a 'rental adjustment equation'.
First I estimate R* = a0 + a1Vt-1 + a2ABt-1

Following, I want to estimate the adjustment process, which is:

Rt-Rt-1 = a3 [R* - Rt-1]

If you fill R* in the above equation, I get:

(1) Rt = a3[a0 + a1Vt-1 + a2ABt-1] + (1-a3)Rt-1 (where a3 gives the rate of adjustment)

How can I estimate equation 1 in eviews? What should I type in the estimate equation box?

Thanks in advance!

Something like:

thank you so much!

I have one last question:
If you assume a time trend in eviews, you can estimate '@trend'
If I include this variable in the regression, the signs of my coefficients change.
This change is good for my model, however are these signs reliable if I include a trend, because
without the trend the variables have the wrong sign.
