Dear all,
(A) Can we enlarge the option "Percentage change of selected variable"
in the "Add" menu to
"Percentage change of selected variable_s_" ? (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
