Hello,

I have daily database (spot prices) in my workfile and I would like to create a dummy variable for the end of week and another one for the end of the month. How can I do that in Eviews 7 sv, please ?

Thanks.

One simple solution to your problem could be the followings.

Code: Select all


series dummy1 = @recode(@weekday=7,1,0) '=1 if Sundays, =0 otherwise
series temp = @recode(@day=1,1,0) 
series dummy2 = temp(+1) '=1 if the end of the month, =0 otherwise
d(noerr) temp

Or, more simply

Code: Select all


Series dummy1 = @weekday=7
Series dummy2 = @day(+1)=1
