EViews Packages
EViews Add-ins, User Objects, and Library Packages
EViews offers an EViews Add-ins and User Object infrastructure that provides seamless access to user-defined programs and objects using the standard EViews command, menu, and object interface. Using Add-ins or User Objects, you can add user-defined features of power and sophistication that are virtually indistinguishable from built-in features.
The following are a set of freely downloadable add-in packages, User Objects, and libraries that you may use to extend your usage of EViews.
Add-in packages are EViews programs that, when installed, look and feel like built-in EViews procedures. Packages may generally be run from the EViews object and Add-ins menu, or via commands. Once installed, add-in packages should require no user-modification.
User Object packages are EViews programs that allow creation of brand new object types within a workfile. These objects will have their own custom View and Procedure menus and commands.
Add-in Libraries are EViews programs that extend the EViews programing language by providing routines and tools that other programs, including other Add-ins, may utilize.
To download an Add-in or User Object, simply click on the name, instruct your browser to open the file using EViews, and let EViews do the rest...
Note: IHS EViews does not provide telephone or email technical support for individual Add-ins. If you need help with an Add-in, please click on the corresponding support link below.
If you would like to contribute your own package and have it listed here, please visit the Add-in Writer's Forum for details on how to submit.
(*) Add-in's name indicates the Add-in was developed by an EViews community member rather than by IHS EViews.
