I've got a problem with import of panel data containing informations about seven variables for 33 countries for 12 years. According to Gretl User's Guide I've prepered data in such a way that variables are 'below' each other. I've got stacked cross sections for 12 years where at the beginning we 'pretend' that pieriods are variables (file with a data is attached). To make from this 'real' panel data for given variables I've written such a script:

 

genr c=stack(v1..v12) --length=33
genr o=stack(v1..v12) --offset=33 --length=33
genr i=stack(v1..v12) --offset=66 --length=33
genr m=stack(v1..v12) --offset=99 --length=33
genr y=stack(v1..v12) --offset=132 --length=33
genr r=stack(v1..v12) --offset=165 --length=33
genr p=stack(v1..v12) --offset=188 --length=33
setobs 33 1:1 --stacked-cross-section  

 

Something is wrong because names of observations (countries) which are wrongly linked to a numerical data...

Thanks for help...

Best wishes...
