And are you using the corrected S & W output? http://www.princeton.edu/~mwatson/papers/jmcb_07_stockandwatson_corrected...

Could any guru here-in give me a code for an Instrumental Variable Regression?

Folks,**** ** ** I’ve had another look at this, and couldn’t find any major discrepancies between my code and Watson’s. Attached are 2 script files – one in Gretl, the other a modified version of Watson’s ‘uc_ngfilt.gss’ (I cut out Watson’s data-reading and calendar routines to keep things focused on the UC filter part). I’ve also attached a spreadsheet showing the resulting versions of figures 2a and 2b from each script. Note that these correspond to the CPIU measure of inflation. They’re both based on 5100 total draws with 100 burn-in, and are well within Monte Carlo error of each other. I can’t see any major differences (apart from MC variation) with Stock & Watson’s corrected figures (also attached; see p. 8). **** ** ** I’m using Gretl 1.9.8 cvs as of 4/6/12, and Ox for the Gauss replication.* *** ** ** Please let me know if you’re still finding significant differences, or have any other questions or comments.**** ** ** Best,**** ** ** PS**** ** ** *From:* gretl-users-bounces(a)lists.wfu.edu [mailto: gretl-users-bounces(a)lists.wfu.edu] *On Behalf Of *artur tarassow *Sent:* Tuesday, May 15, 2012 3:31 PM *To:* Gretl list *Subject:* Re: [Gretl-users] unobserved component model with stochastic volatility (UC-SV)**** ** ** Hey Allin, I should have been more precise. Actually I am trying to replicate figure 2a (std. deviation of the permanent component) and 2b (std. deviation of the transitory component) from the S/W paper. If one compares figures 2a and 2b with the results I've obtained with Peter Summer's gretl code (pdf, attached before) you see that they highly deviate from Stock and Watson's results. But using the original code I can replicate their figures quite well (see attached pdf files). I thought that maybe somebody on the mailing list has already tried to replicate the S/W paper using their data and Peter Summer's code.
