EViews - Student Version

EViews 3.1 Student Version provides students with access to the innovative object-oriented user interface of EViews 3.1. Students can use EViews' wide range of statistical and graphical techniques without having to learn complicated command syntax or navigate through layers and layers of menus. For example, students can switch easily between a display of their equation specification, basic estimation results, the coefficient covariance matrix, actual-fitted-residual graphs and tables, forecast graphs and evaluations, and extensive diagnostic and hypothesis tests.

While it does contain some capacity and feature limitations, EViews 3.1 Student Version provides most of the capabilities of our Standard Version.

The Student Version is a restricted version of EViews 3.1 that differs from the Standard Version along two primary dimensions.

  • First, there are capacity restrictions which limit the size of projects. Each series is limited to 1,000 observations, and the total number of data points (series x observations per series) is limited to 10,000. In addition, there is a limit of 50 objects (series, equations, graphs, etc.) in each workfile.
  • Second, the Student Version lacks EViews' more advanced analytical and programming features. The following features, though available in the Standard Version of EViews 3.1, are not available in the Student Version:
    • X-11 seasonal adjustment. Seasonal adjustment by the ratio-to-moving average and difference-from-moving average techniques are included in the Student Version.
    • Write access to EViews databases.You may, however, read from existing EViews databases, and read and write from standard EViews workfiles. Read-Write access to the DRI Basic Economics Database and the Haver databases is not provided.
    • Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), State space estimation, ARCH estimation and forecasting, ordered discrete choice, count, and censored/truncated equation estimation, user-specified log-likelihood estimation.
    • System estimation by Seemingly Unrelated Regression, Two and Three-Stage Least Squares, GMM and FIML.
    • Programming Capabilities. EViews 3.1 contains an advanced programming language that allows you to write and execute sophisticated programs in batch mode. The Student Version is limited to interactive use.
    • Matrix Operations. The standard version of EViews 3.1 provides an extensive set of functions for matrix algebra and manipulation that is not available in the Student Version.
