similar to: Forecasting with macroeconomic structural equations models?

Hello, I have estimated a simultaneous equation model (similar to Klein's model) in R using the system.fit package. I have an identity equation, along with three other equations. Do you know how to explicitly identify the identity equation in R? I am also trying to forecast the dependent variables in the simultaneous equation model, while incorporating the identity equation in the

Hi Frances, I have not touched the system.fit package for quite some time, but to solve your problem the following two pointers might be helpful: 1) Recast your model in the revised form, i.e., include your identity directly into your reaction functions, if possible. 2) For solving your model, you can employ the Gau?-Seidel method (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss%E2%80%93Seidel_method).

Frances, I would not advise Gauss-Seidel for non linear models. Can be quite tricky, slow and diverge. You can write your model as a non linear system of equations and use one of the nonlinear solvers. See the section "Root Finding" in the task view NumericalMathematics suggesting three packages (BB, nleqslv and ktsolve). These package are certainly able to handle medium sized models.

Who was speaking about non-linear models in the first place??? The Klein-Model(s) and pretty much all simultaneous equation models encountered in macro-econometrics are linear and/or can contain linear approximations to non-linear relationships, e.g., production functions of the Cobb-Douglas type.

Klein model is linear but Oseibonsu did not say that explicitly. "Klein

Dear Helplist, I want to produce forecasts from a structural equation model. With the SEM package the model setup and its estimation is possible. However, I have not figured out how to obtain ex ante forecasts, i.e. applying the Gauss-Seidel algorithm to the estimated structural equations for provided values of the exogenous variables (i.e.: y_t = -inv(A)*B*x_t). Does anyone know if the there is

Dear all, I try to conduct a SEM / two stage least squares regression with the following equations: First: X ~ IV1 + IV2 * Y Second: Y ~ a + b X therein, IV1 and IV2 are the two instruments I would like to use. the structure I would like to maintain as the model is derived from economic theory. My problem here is that I have trouble solving the equations to get the reduced form so I can run

Dear all, Using the tsls package, I noticed that regression lists longer than 64 character are getting truncated. Looking at the original source, tsls.formula <- function(model, instruments, data, subset, weights, na.action, contrasts=NULL){ if (missing(na.action)) na.action <- options()$na.action m <- match.call(expand.dots = FALSE) if (is.matrix(eval(m$data,

hello to all. I am working on macroeconomic data series of India, which in a yearly basis. I am unable to convert my data frame into time series. kindly help me. also using zoo and xts packages. but they take only monthly observations. 'data.frame': 30 obs. of 4 variables: $ year: int 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 ... $ cnsm: num 174 175 175 172 173 ... $ incm:

Hi there, I hope to build a model Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 with X1 has two instrumental variable A and B, and X2 has one instrumental variable A. I have searched the R site and mailling list, and known that the tsls() from sem package and ivreg() from AER package can deal with instrumental variable regression, however, I don't know how to formula the model. Any suggestion will be really

I'm an R newbie and had a question about the read.xls function. I've heard that this is often not a reliable function to use for importing data. However, I have created numerous xls files which contain information about voter turnout and macroeconomic indicators in India. I'm writing a paper on the relationship between economic growth and voter turnout. This is the command I use:

Hi, I am trying to obtain the heteroskedasticity consitent standard errors (HCSE) after apply 2SLS. I obtain 2SLS through tsls from package sem or systemfit: #### tsls #### library (sem) Reg2SLS <-tsls(LnP~Sc+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D,~I2+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D) summary (Reg2SLS) #### systemfit #### library (systemfit) RS <- LnP~Sc+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D Inst <- ~I2+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D labels

Hi All, I am using R 2.11.0 on a Ubuntu machine. I estimated a model using "tsls" from the package "sem". Is there a way to get Newey West standard errors for the parameter estimates? When estimating the model by OLS, I used "NeweyWest" from the package "sandwich" to get HAC standard errors. But, I am not able to use the same method with the results of the

Dear friends, I am trying to understand and implement instrumental variables regression using R. I found a small (simple) example here which purportedly illustrates the mechanics (using 2-stage least-squares): http://www.r-bloggers.com/a-simple-instrumental-variables-problem/ Basically, here are the R commands (reproducible example) from that site: # ------ begin R library(AER)

Hi, I am using tsls function from sem package to estimate a model which includes large number of data. Among its predictors, it has a nominal data which has about 10 possible values. So I expand this parameter into 9-binary-value predictors with the coefficient of base value equals 0. I also have another continuous predictor. The problem is that, whenever I run the tsls, I will get 'System

I am unable to convert my data frame into time series. Do you really need to convert your data to time series/xts/zoo? I don?t know you try what kind of an analysis but perhaps you don?t have to. > kindly
