Hi,

I have a quick question. Suppose I have data like the following:


Date Return Return+1 Rolling Ret
6/21/2005 0.078 1.078 1.078
6/20/2005 0.051 1.051 1.132978
6/19/2005 0.04163 1.04163 1.180144
6/18/2005 0.025 1.025 1.209647
6/17/2005 0.045 1.045 1.264082
6/16/2005 0.045 1.045 1.320965
6/15/2005 0.01 1.01 1.334175
6/14/2005 0.15 1.15 1.534301
6/13/2005 0.004 1.004 1.540438
6/12/2005 0.05 1.05 1.61746
6/11/2005 0.054 1.054 1.704803
6/10/2005 0.045 1.045 1.781519
6/9/2005 0.016 1.016 1.810024


date is the date
return is a percentage return
return +1=return+1

how do i create a rolling return in stata? it has a value of 1 initially. first obs is 1*1.078, the second obs is 1.078*1.1051, and so on.

i have a long data series (1000 obs). how can i code a function to generate this variable?

thanks!

kj
