| Subject | st: How to add business days to an existing date |
| Date | Tue, 8 May 2012 19:24:39 +0200 |
Hi together, I am not that experienced with Stata, so I need a little help. I have a data set with time series observations in the following format ID Date Price 1 01.01.2005 X 1 02.01.2005 X 1 03.01.2005 X ....... 2 01.01.2005 X 2 02.01.2005 X 2 03.01.2005 X ....... Now I need to calculate a "Value Date", which means that I need a new Date which is the stated Date plus three Business Days. So weekends and bank holidays like January 1st, December 25th etc. should be omitted. How can I solve this problem? I already tried to solve this with a business calendar, but Stata always crashed if I load my calender. By the way, I am not 100% sure if I am doing everything in the correct way with the business calender. Is there a way without using the business calendar??
