Hello everyone,

I want to estimate this model assuming the errors are autoregressive of order 1. How exactly would I go about doing it on eViews 8.0?

Furthermore, every time I enter this equation into eViews 8.0, I keep being told that eViews is "unable to normalize this equation". What does that mean and how do I get around it? For what it's worth, I am typing the following (not sure if I should type it differently or not): ln(u)=c(1)+c(2)*ln(u)

Best wishes,
Leon

For a proper introduction to the software and basic understanding of its features, I suggest you to go over (at least the first few chapters of) EViews Illustrated and EViews Users Guide:

1) EViews does not have a function called "ln". You should use "log" instead.
2) I think ln(u) = c(1) + c(2)*ln(u) should be replaced with log(jv) = c(1) + c(2)*log(u)

Thank you for your help. I have tried this and eViews keeps telling me that there are an "insufficient number of observations". It seems as if eViews wants to give me as much headache as possible :(

Could you please post your workfile?

Yes, certainly.

I am not sure what you are doing exactly, but if you follow the steps as depicted in the picture attached then you should get the results. Otherwise, there might be a some sort of bug in the demo version.

Thank you. Let me try this.

Yes, I think there must be a bug in the demo version of eViews 8.0 because it is still not working for me: "Insufficient number of observations". I have done exactly as you have described, so there is a deeper problem.

Is it possible for you to attach the Equation file please?

Thank you

The demo version and the full version are identical. You must be doing something different from shown.
