Dear Users, I want to know whether systemfit can solve simultaneous equations using panel data. Regards Arunima [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I have set up a Labour Demand Error Correction Model for some German federal states. As I expect the labour markets to be correlated I used a Seemingly Unrelated Regression using systemfit in R. My Model is: d(emp)_it = c + alpha*ln(emp)_i,t-1 + beta_1*ln(gdp)_i,t-1 + + beta_2*ln(wage)_i,t-1 + + beta_1*ln(i)_i,t-1 + gamma_1*d(gdp)_it + gamma_2*d(wage)_it with emp_it being the

Hi, I added a new function "predict.systemfit" to our package "systemfit" to make it closer to other packages (e.g. lm). Now "R CMD check" complains that the generic function "predict" has only the argument "object", while our function "predict.systemfit" has more arguments. However, the function "predict.lm" has also more

Hello to everyone, I have 2 problems and would be very pleased if anyone can help me: 1) When I use the package "systemfit" for SUR regressions, I get two different variance-covariance matrices when I firstly do the SUR regression ("The covariance matrix of the residuals used for estimation") and secondly do the OLS regressions. In the manual for "systemfit" on page

Hi, R core team I am using the function {aidsEst} in package [micEcon] to do an AIDS model now. So far, everything is good. But I want to test the auto correlation and heteroskedasticity of the individual equation from AIDS demand system. How can I return the individual equation? PS: serial correlation test is {bgtest} in package [lmtest] and heteroskedasticity is {bptest} in package

I am having problem using output of lm() function for further analysing using systemfit package. Basicaly, the problem s following - I generate several formulas using lm() > fo1 <- lm(r98[,2] ~ f98[,1] + f98[,2] + ... + f98[,43]) > fo2 <- lm(r98[,1] ~ f98[,1] + f98[,2] + ... + f98[,43]) and than I want to estimate a general model using package systemfit. > fitsur <-

Hey, I want to implement a structural model with the package systemfit with some linear and nonlinear constraints. How to implement linear restrictions is clear. Does anybody know how to set up nonlinear restrictions in the systemfit packages. For example: beta1 = beta2-(beta4/beta6) I look forward to your reply -- View this message in context:

Hi, I have two products which are substitudes. I try to fix a system as below to mydata. Demand1 = A1 -B1*Price1 + C1*Price2 Demand2 = A2 +B2*Price1 - C2*Price2 I would expect C1 & B2 to be symmetric, If they are truly substitude. How can I enforce this symmetry when creating a system of equations via SystemFit ? -- View this message in context:

  Dear Arne Henningsen,   I send you this message because I have question with regard to systemfit package. I hope you answer to my request.   I estimated a system of equation bu using SUR method. The function summary(xx) gives me summary of estimated equation system. However, this function does not give my the value of the durbin watson statistic  for each one of my equations (to chek for serial

Hello !   I’m trying to estimate a system of equation (demand and supply) using the systemfit package.  My program is:   library(systemfit) demand <- tsyud ~ tsyud1 + tsucp + tspo + tssn supply <- tscn ~ tsyn + tsqn + tsksn + tsucp system <- list(demand=eqdemand, learning = eqsupply) labels <- list(demand="eqdemand", learning="eqsupply") inst <- ~ tsupp1 + tsupp2

Thank you, Greg, and also to Scott Ellison, who replied privately. I am in the process of trying out both suggestions. After I sent my initial message, I came across the Systemfit package, which allows specification of constraints on parameters. In theory, this should solve my problem perfectly. However, I was not able to get it to work with my data, as every attempt yielded the following

How does one specify the weights for WLS in the systemfit command ? That is, there is a weight option in lm(), but there doesn't seem to be weight option for systemfit("WLS") Thanks!

Hi all, I'm trying to estimate model parameters in R for a pretty simple system of equations, but I'm having trouble. Here is the system of equations (all derivatives): eqAlgae <- (u_Amax * C_A) * (1 - (Q_Amin / Q_A)) eqQuota <- (p_max * R_V) / (K_p + R_V) - ((Q_A-Q_Amin)*u_Amax) eqResource <- -C_A * (p_max * R_V) / (K_p + R_V) eqSystem <- list(C_A = eqAlgae, Q_A = eqQuota,

Hello everyone, I have estimated system of three linear equations with one non-linear restrictions with nlsystemfit. I was wondering how I can calculate the R-squared (or some alternative coefficient of determination) for the whole system. This is automatically given by linear systemfit but not by nlsystemfit. I can get the values for each of the equations separately, but apparently not for

I am fitting a reduced form VAR model using VAR in the vars library. I have several endogenous variables, and two exogenous variables. I would like to explore the effects of a shock to one of the exogenous variables on one of the endogenous variables. Using irf in the vars library only calculates the irf for the endogenous variables, this is obviously by design, is there some theoretical

Dear List I am trying to fit a simutaneous equation logit model. i.e., the response variables of the structured equations are binomial, I am not sure if systemfit can do this job. A google search doesn't yield too much helpful information. Your knowledge on any other packages or codes are appreciated. Thanks will

Hi, I would like to estimate a quadratic almost ideal demand system in R which is estimated usually by nonlinear seemingly unrelated regression. But there is no such function in R yet but it is readily available in STATA (nlsur), see B. Poi (2008): Demand-system estimation: Update, Stata Journal 8(4). Now I am thinking, what is quicker learning to "program" STATA which seems not really

Hello, I see on the systemfit manual that you can estimate one-equation IV - I have a variable, and need to test if it's endogeneous, but do not need to estimate a system. Does anyone have any examples of this? Do you just run OLS with the endogenous variable, and then run a Hausmann to test endogeneity of OLS resid. vs. IV resid? Thanks in advance, DM [[alternative HTML

The 'systemfit' function in systemfit 0.7-3 CRAN package seems to have a problem with formulas that contain transformed (eg. log) variables. If I have my data in a data frame, apparently systemfit doesn't "pass" the information of where the variables should be taken to the transforming function. I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or just a limitation, I was just

Hi, I would like to use the sem package to perform a path analysis (no latent variables) with a mixture of 2 nominal exogenous, 1 continuous exogenous, and 4 continuous endogenous variables. I seek advice as to how to calculate the appropriate covariance matrix for use with the sem package. I have read through the polycor package, and am confused as to the use of "numeric" for
