Loading Linearised TAB File if are Levels Equations in Original TAB file

If there are levels equations in the TAB file used to produce the results you are analysing, you can choose to load a linearised version of that TAB file into the TABmate window instead of the original TAB file.

We think that the linearised TAB file (it contains linearised versions of the levels equations) gives you more scope for analysing the equations part of your model in AnalyseGE.

We are grateful to Tom Hertel for suggesting this possibility.

The menu item Load linearised TAB file if are levels equations under the Options menu on the AnalyseGE form controls whether or not the linearised TAB file is loaded when there are levels equations in the original TAB file.

When you load the linearised TAB file, it shows what were levels equations in the original TAB file as linearised ones. The form of the linearised equations is the same as is shown in the Information file produced when TABLO runs.

If there is a Formula & Equation in the original TAB file, the Formula remains in the linearised TAB file and it is followed by a linearised version of the associated levels equation.

The linearised TAB file shown would produce exactly the same results as you obtained from the original TAB file. That is because TABLO works with only with the linearised versions of the equations after the Check stage.

As an example, you might like to load the results from the standard 10% increase in labor supply with Stylized Johansen (SJLB.SL4) to see the differences. The standard TAB file SJ.TAB used to produce these results contains some levels and some linearised equations (see  the GEMPACK manual).
