This practical guide in Eviews is aimed at practitioners and students in business, economics, econometrics, and finance. It uses a step-by-step approach to equip readers with a toolkit that enables them to make the most of this widely used econometric analysis software. Statistical and econometrics concepts are explained visually with examples, problems, and solutions. Developed by economists, the Eviews statistical software package is used most commonly for time-series oriented econometric analysis. It allows users to quickly develop statistical relations from data and then use those relations to forecast future values of the data. The package provides convenient ways to enter or upload data series, create new series from existing ones, display and print series, carry out statistical analyses of relationships among series, and manipulate results and output. This highly hands-on resource includes more than 200 illustrative graphs and tables and tutorials throughout. Abdulkader Aljandali is Senior Lecturer at Coventry University in London.

Principles of Econometrics, Fifth Edition, is an introductory book for undergraduate students in economics and finance, as well as first-year graduate students in a variety of fields that include economics, finance, accounting, marketing, public policy, sociology, law, and political science. Students will gain a working knowledge of basic econometrics so they can apply modeling, estimation, inference, and forecasting techniques when working with real-world economic problems. Readers will also gain an understanding of econometrics that allows them to critically evaluate the results of others’ economic research and modeling, and that will serve as a foundation for further study of the field. This new edition of the highly-regarded econometrics text includes major revisions that both reorganize the content and present students with plentiful opportunities to practice what they have read in the form of chapter-end exercises.

There is a large group of people in a variety of fields, including finance, economics, accounting, science, mathematics, engineering, statistics, and public policy who need to understand some basic concepts of time series analysis and forecasting. Analyzing time-series data and forecasting future values of a time series are among the most important problems that analysts face in many fields. But to Successfully analyze this time series data requires that the analyst interact with computer software because the techniques and algorithms are just not suitable to manual calculations.This book has been written with the aim of solving this problems by providing a step-by-step guide to economic and financial econometrics using EViews. It contains a brief overviews of the concepts of econometric models, and data analysis techniques followed by procedures of how they can be implemented in EViews. This book is written as a compendium for undergraduate and graduate students in economics, finance, statistics and accounting. It can also serve as a guide for researchers and practitioners who desire to use EViews for analyzing financial data. This book may be used as a textbook companion for post graduate level courses in time series analysis, empirical finance, statistics and financial econometrics. Since, many organizations can improve their effectiveness and business results by making better short-to-medium term forecasts, this book should be useful to a wide variety of professionals.
