Dear all,

(A) Can we enlarge the option "Percentage change of selected variable" in the "Add" menu to 

"Percentage change of selected variables" ? (as is the case for most other options)

 

(B) Can we introduce log changes as well in the "Add" menu "Percentage change of selected variable(s)" option, for example, by enlarging the window in the percentage changes?

 

100*log(Yt/Yt(-1), monthly (etc depending on frequency data)

12*100*log(Yt/Yt(-1)) for %m-o-m annualized (etc depending on frequency data)

100*log(Yt/Yt(-12)) for %y-o-y (etc depending on frequency data)

It is very convenient (especially for teaching purposes) instead of log from the menu and then multiplying by 100 or 12*100 and so on.

Also useful for lazy researchers like me :) when just looking at the numbers...

 

Thanks!

Yiannis
