Panel data import
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2012 4:11 pm
Hello,
My question might sound stupid but I just started working with Eviews and some things are not that obvious to me.
I have panel data and when I import data from excel file I get question about date series - and I type 'week' and that's obviously wrong since eviews doesn't let me continue with that. What should i type then? What i have is weekly sales and price promotion information for 5 products (for each product there are 261 weekly observations; total number of observations is 1305). Also I don't really understand what am I suppose to specify in cross section ID series: if I want to regress sales as a function of price and other variables, should I type sales or what?
Thanks in advance for any help!
