Re: [Gretl-users] A Newbie Needs Help

OK, I've had a look at the gretl documentation on panel models. I get how to set up panel data, and the basics on panel analysis. Apparently, if I have time-invariant data (literacy rates would be nearly invariant over the period I'm talking about), I have to use a random-effects model, though that poses a problem if the other IV's are correlated with the panel units (countries, in this case). I think I can negotiate that problem, though.... My next question is, how do I handle lags and the need for instruments? The panel documentation mentions this issue, but doesn't seem to go into it, unless it's in another part of the manual. Scott
