Why Should I Use EViews?
We know that you have many options when it comes to software. So why should you choose EViews?
The innovative EViews interface is easy to use, having been designed from the ground up to take advantage of modern Windows operating systems. Most users are able to master the interface within minutes of first being introduced to EViews. There is no complicated syntax to learn - a few mouse strokes or keyboard clicks and you're off and running!
EViews integrates with your other Windows products. In addition to opening and saving to a large range of different file formats (from webpages to Excel to Stata or SAS), EViews supports standard Windows technologies such as copy-and-pasting, object linking and embedding, and ODBC connections.
Although EViews' core design features a mouse-driven user interface, EViews also offers extensive programming and command language. All actions in EViews can be scripted to automate repetitive tasks or to keep a record of your work.
Features
EViews can be used for general statistical analysis and econometric analyses, such as cross-section and panel data analysis and time series estimation and forecasting.
EViews combines spreadsheet and relational database technology with the traditional tasks found in statistical software and uses a Windows GUI. This is combined with a programming language that displays limited object orientation.
The Enterprise edition of EViews allows access to 3rd party time series data from multiple providers including Thomson Reuters Datastream, Moody's Economy.com, Macrobond Financial, Haver Analytics, and CEIC.
Data Formats
EViews distinguishes itself through a distinctive, proprietary file format for data storage, albeit with limited documentation. Despite this, the software boasts remarkable flexibility in data handling, supporting an array of formats, including databank, Excel, PSPP/SPSS, DAP/SAS, Stata, RATS, and TSP. Furthermore, EViews seamlessly integrates with ODBC databases, providing a robust suite of options for comprehensive data management.
An interesting facet is that gretl can partially access EViews file formats, enhancing the versatility of data manipulation tasks. This combination of proprietary efficiency and broad compatibility establishes EViews as a powerful tool in the realm of econometric analysis and data management.
