Jan, Thank you for this hint. Is there an easy way to obtain the coefficient 
cov-matrix, as Gretel only produces the residiual covariance matrix for the 
System.

In addition to Sven's answer:
You may rewrite restrictions as the one you mention as a t-test, but then your 
denominator Sdiff should take into account the covariance between the two 
coefficients: sqrt(var(b[1,2])+var(b[3,2])-2cov(b[1,2],b[3,2])).

Good luck,
Jan

Subject: [Gretl-users] Coeffiicent Wald Tests across equations for individual 
coefficents (within SUR)

Dear gretl users,

I have a questions regrding coefficient wald tests.

I have estimated a SUR system (20 equations) and now I would like to conduct 
Wald tests for individual coefficients across different equations.

I know that I can use the restrict command e.g.

restrict "System"
b[1,2]-b[3,2]=0
end restrict

estimate "System" method=sur

which yields an F-test at the end.

However, I want to conduct the tests for several equations (14 out of 20) each 
with 8 coefficients, which would require a lot of individual restricitons.

Therefore, I asked myself, whether I could obtain the same results using

(b[1,2]-b[3,2])/S(diff),

where S(diff) =sqrt(S(b[1,2])^2+S(b[1,2])^2)

Unfortunately, the results between the two tests differ (even if I square the 
t-statistic).

Finally, I am looking for a way, to calculate the wald tests, without manually 
respecifying the every single restriction.

Thanks in advance.

Jan
