VC implements Ekkehart Schlicht's method-of-moments based estimator for time varying coefficients. It allows estimation of linear time series and panel data models with coefficients following random walk processes. The estimator seems to do better than Kalman-Filter based Maximum Likelihood Estimation in small samples. Package updated 11 Nov 2004 by the author.
