[R-SIG-Finance] time series regression (demand for higher education)

[Spencer Graves]

      1.  Did you not receive a reply yesterday from Matthieu Stigler, 
reading as follows: 

For the analysis of multivariate time series use package vars for VAR 
models and urca for VECM models, unit root and cointegration tests. 
The author of these package wrote also a  book "analysis of integrated 
and cointegrated time series with R" which can be usefull. See 
http://pfaffikus.de/


      2.  Before posting the same question again, PLEASE do read the 
posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.  If 
you provide a self-contained example, you increase the pool of potential 
respondents by a factor of 10 or 100, because even people who don't know 
the answer can copy your pseudo-code from your email into R and take you 
to the next step. 


      Hope this helps. 
      Spencer
