NAME
threesls - Three-Stage Least-squares Regression
CALLING SEQUENCE
[results]=threesls(arg1,...,argn)
PARAMETERS
Input
-
argi : arguments which can be:
- an equation of the following form:
'vary=coef1*varx1+...+coefi*varxi'
where:
* coefi = the name of a coefficient
* varxi = the name of a variable
- 'coef=coef1;coef2;...coefn' where coef1,...,coefn are the
names of the coefficients in the system
(optional; default: 'coef=a1;...,an')
- 'endo =[endo1;...;endon]' where endo1,...,endon are the
names of the endogenous variables
(optional; necessary if the names of the endogenous
variables in the rhs of the equations are not the same as
those of the lhs; default: the names of all the lhs sides
of the equations)
- 'noprint' if you do not want to print the results
Output
-
results =a results tlist with:
- results('meth') = 'threesls'
- results('namecoef') = the matrix of the names of the coefficients
- results('riv1'),...,results('rivn) = the results of the iv
estimation for each equation (see iv for more details)
DESCRIPTION
Computes Three-Stage Least-squares Regression
EXAMPLE
r=threesls('y1=a1+b1*x1','y2=a2+b2*x2+c2*y1','y3=a3+b3*x3+c3*y2+d3*x2',...
'coef=a1;a2;a3;b1;b2;b3;c1;c2;c3;d3')
Example taken from function threesls_d. The equations are 'y1=a1+b1*x1','y2=a2+b2*x2+c2*y1'
and 'y3=a3+b3*x3+c3*y2+d3*x2'.Coefficients are a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, b3, c1, c2, c3, d3.
Their name is given to the function through the input 'coef=a1;a2;a3;b1;b2;b3;c1;c2;c3;d3'.
