Features: This book is a computer-based manual for econometric analysis software, designed as a companion to "Econometrics" (authored by Pan Shengchu, part of the 21st Century Economics and Management Core Curriculum Series Textbooks). The book is divided into two main parts: Part I is the EViews computer manual, and Part II is the SAS computer manual. Econometrics is a branch of economics that applies tools such as economic theory, mathematics, and statistical inference to the quantitative analysis of economic phenomena. It emerged in the 1930s and has rapidly developed over the following decades, now becoming an essential component of modern economics. In Western developed countries, econometrics has long been a required course for economics students, and in recent years, it has also been included as a core curriculum for economics students in China. This indicates that writing applicable econometrics textbooks for finance and economics majors has become an urgent priority.
Econometrics falls under the category of positive economics and is a highly applied discipline. Therefore, emphasizing the integration of theory with practical economic work and focusing on cultivating students' ability to solve real-world problems is one of the guiding principles of this book. An important measure to achieve this is incorporating computer-based learning of econometric analysis software into the teaching process. This ensures that students, after completing this course, not only master the theory and methods of econometrics but also gain the tools to apply econometrics to solve practical problems.
