HELP! Calculate Monthly Simple Return

Postby Catsteckler » Thu Nov 19, 2020 9:12 am

Hello,
I am new to Eviews and have an assignment to calculate the monthly simple return of the S&P500. I have no idea where to begin. I have imported the data which my instructor provided but am unsure how to do any calculations.

Hello,

I'd hope your instructor would direct you to resources for getting started with EViews. I suggest you review the EViews Fundamentals section of the EViews documentation, in particular the Working with Data subsection. You might also want to explore the EViews Illustrated primer.
