Hello, I am having trouble changing the sample period in a script file. I initialy set the sample using smpl 1967:1 2007:4 Then latter in the script I set the sample to smpl 1967:1 2011:4 But when I estimate a VAR the sample period remains 1967:1 - 2007:4 I have also used the command smpl --full with the same results. The sample period does not change for the estimation.

Have you checked your data whether the needed observations are actually there and not NA? cheers, sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list Gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users
