Re: st: ETA Stata 12.0

Good to know. In addition to that, VECRANK command does not allow the
inclussion of seasonal terms as well as structural breaks either in
levels or trend.

The following is worth reading about what is needed in Stata:
Yafee, R.A  2007. Stata 10 (Time Series and Forecasting). Journal of
Statistical Software. 23(1):1-18.
http://www.jstatsoft.org/v23/s01/paper

In conclusion, it seems to me that Stata is heading to a different
market of researchers (stat. methods) than Eviews or Rats or open
source such as Jmulti or GRETL.

Sincerely,

Charles

So, those estimates are useless since WE DO NEED the standard errors for interpreting the results STATISTICALLY. I was amazed to learn that OPEN SOURCE software can do that job very efficiently. I would like to see this feature in STATA 12.
