  1. CHANGING MFMOD FRONT-END INTERFACE

  2. Overview of the Standalone Front-End What is the Front-End Loads Eviews in the Background to do all the calculations But uses Excel as the user-input User can make changes to inputs, forecasts, simulations in Excel and let Eviews do the hard work

  3. Changing the Standalone Front-End Unhide columns B and C of the NIA-Vols Sheet

  4. Changing the Standalone Front-End Now we can see the variable codes and variable triggers

  5. Changing the Standalone Front-End Column C has the variable code this tells Eviews what series to load into this row of the spreadsheet

  6. Changing the Standalone Front-End For endogenous variables we have three codes per variable

  7. Changing the Standalone Front-End 1) NECONPRVTKN (variable) 2) _M model suggestion 3) _A Add-Factor 4)

  8. Changing the Standalone Front-End Column B sets the triggers of the model. It tells the model if you change the mode of one variable, how it should change the other variable

  9. Changing the Standalone Front-End Here we tell the model that if you change private consumption to x exog that it should make the private consumption add- factor e endog

  10. Changing the Standalone Front-End Here we tell the model that if you change private consumption to x exog that it should make the private consumption add- factor e endog

  11. Changing the Standalone Front-End Column E Sets the Modes of the model X = Exogenous E = Endogenous I = Identity

  12. Changing the Standalone Front-End To Change the Options in a Drop- Down List in Excel go to the Data Validation Button

  13. Changing the Standalone Front-End Change the Allow to LIST Write Each Option You Want in the Source: Box Separate the options with a comma ,

  14. Changing the Standalone Front-End Column F Sets the Display Options for Each Variable G = Growth Rate L = Level Cont = contribution to Growth %gdp = Percent of GDP

  15. Changing the Standalone Front-End To Change the Options in a Drop- Down List in Excel go to the Data Validation Button

  16. Changing the Standalone Front-End Change the Allow to LIST Write Each Option You Want in the Source: Box Separate the options with a comma ,"

  17. Overview of the Standalone Front-End Reports Page Reports Page Allows user to have a preset list of variables that they can easily find in one sheet Can mix fiscal, real, nominal, BOP, etc. Page also allows for custom calculations so you can report any type of transformation or mix of variables you are interested in. Very similar to other pages in how it operates

  18. Changing the Reports Page

  19. Changing the Reports Page In the display mode column F we add the option r which reports the calculation from column C First Difference is variable codes You can write a formula in this column now: for example @pcy(NPLneconprvtkn)/@pcy(NPL nygdpmktpkn) calculates income elasticity to consumption

  20. Changing the Reports Page If you want to just report a variable from the model (from a different sheet) without transformation, you can follow the same logic as the other sheets

  21. Adding sheets to Front-end 2 types of adding Directly in the front-end Programmatically (2 places to add based on sheet types) of the string MFMSAOptions
