Each chapter introduces examples of using Eviews to implement the content of the chapter and requires students to complete the exercises for each chapter using Eviews; fourth, this is a foundational textbook for econometrics, and to broaden students' knowledge and meet the needs of different types of professional teaching, some content is selected as "optional for teaching use"; fifth, to facilitate classroom use, each chapter lists "Key Learning Points of This Chapter" and "Thoughts and Exercises." This book is highly practical and suitable as a foundational textbook for undergraduate economics and management majors. If it includes the parts marked as "optional for teaching use," it can also be used as a foundational textbook for undergraduate students in non-quantitative economics majors.
