This screen allows you to select from a database of available economic indicators for use in the analysis. Scenario Lab defaults with both quarterly and monthly time series of economic variables.

The top table shows the list of available economic variables to select from. Filter using the search box. The table shows the date range of available time series data for each economic variable and its source.

Prior to selecting economic variables, review and specify the data periodicity that you want to work with.

The bottom table shows a list of selected economic variables saved into the casefile. The bottom grid allows you to rename economic variables for display, examine the common data date range, and remove unwanted economic variables.
