How would I input this equation into eViews?

Hello everyone,

I am completely new to eViews and I wanted to ask how exactly should I write the equation (see attachment) into eViews?

Hi,

You should estimate it with NLS like this:

ls y=c(1)*k^c(2)*l^c(3)*e^c(4)*m^c(5)

By default EViews put the error term. Be careful with the starting values of the parameters, you could introduce them in the c vector-coeficcient.

You're probably better off taking logs.

[EViews Glenn]

Gareth is correct since you probably want an additive error.

You're probably better off taking logs.

I agree, as I want to do a least squares estimate on it. But how would I type this into eViews?
