Hi,

I would like to estimate an error correction model with lm() but I don't find 
the correct syntax for that.
The model (leaving out the time indices) looks like:

dY = a0 - a1 * (Y - b1*X) + b0*dX + e

the problem is the term - a1 * (Y - b1*X). How can I restrict a1 to be the same 
for both Y and -b1*X ?

lm() fits linear models, and that's not parametrized as a linear model. It is equivalent to this linear model:

dY = a0 + a1 * Y + a2 * X + b0 * dX + e

where I have changed the sign of a1, and replaced a1*b1 with a2. You can specify that model in lm() as

dY ~ Y + X + dX

Thanks for considering my question!

All the best,
