What it is
EViews is desktop software for statistical, time-series, forecasting, and modeling work, presented through an object-oriented interface. It provides data management, econometric and statistical analysis, forecasts, model simulations, graphs, and tables. It imports data from formats and sources including Excel, Access, R, SAS Transport, SPSS, Stata, Tableau, ASCII text and binary, HTML, and ODBC. EViews 14 includes methods such as JDemetra+ seasonal adjustment, Facebook Prophet, quantile ARDL estimation, and outlier detection. Its feature list also describes COM automation, integration with MATLAB, R, and Python, and a Microsoft Excel add-in. Downloadable add-in packages, user objects, and libraries can extend the software. EViews is available for Windows and macOS. The 30-day EViews 14 demo runs only on physical Windows computers and is unavailable for Mac. Student Version Lite is free, but cannot save workfiles or export data to other software formats, and it needs internet access once every 10 days to launch.
