Hi, I'm wondering how to create a series with the following equation in EViews.
X(t) = X(t-1) * (200+Y(t))/(200-Y(t)), setting the intital value of X(1) = 100.

First create the series X.
Then open it in a spreadsheet view and type 100 as the first entry. Then give the commands
Code: Select all
smpl 2 @last
x = x(-1)*(200+y)/(200-y)

alternatively, just type the following commands
Code: Select all
series x=100
smpl 2 @last
series x = x(-1)*(200+y)/(200-y)
smpl @all
