SOFTWARE REVIEWS

摘要

EViews is one of the best-known general-purpose econometrics packages for personal computers. EViews 6.0 was released in February 2007, EViews 7.0 was released in January 2010, and an upgraded version, EViews 7.2, was released in mid 2011. Since our review of EViews 5.1 (McKenzie and Takaoka, 2007), the only thing close to a review of EViews that we could find was a narrowly focused discussion of the options for fitting state-space models in EViews 6.0 by van den Bossche (2011). We therefore try to provide a broad introduction to EViews as well as indicating the key changes between the different versions of EViews.
