EViews

Overview

The world leader in econometric software for Microsoft Windows

EViews offers a wide range of features for data manipulation, statistics and econometric analysis, as well as for forecasting, simulations and analytical presentations of data.

It is the ideal tool for any student, teacher, researcher or analyst working with time series, panel or longitudinal data…

The most powerful econometric analysis tools available through an intuitive interface

With EViews, it is easy to efficiently manipulate your data, perform statistical and econometric analysis, generate forecasts or simulations, and produce publication-quality graphics that can be included in articles or reports.

EViews combines the best of software technology with state-of-the-art functionalities. The result is a powerful program that offers unprecedented power within an intuitive interface. It is flexible and can be used in menu mode or in programming mode, for those who prefer to code directly to perform their searches.

EViews Enterprise: direct access to the most important databases in your business

EViews Enterprise is the version of EViews that allows access to many external data sources, connecting via ODBC, EDX (EViews’ Database Extension Interface) or EDO (EViews’ Database Object).

Through its integrated browser, EViews Enterprise provides direct access to data from Bloomberg, Moody’s, Haver Analytics® DLX®, FAME, EcoWin, EIA®, CEIC®, Datastream®, FactSet®, or the software vendor itself, IHS Global Insight.

IHS Global Insight’s econometric and financial data are dynamically usable and save you time in your calculations and simulations.
