计量经济软件'全'推荐，囊括全世界主要的应用软件，包括综合性和专门性的

计量经济软件全推荐，里面囊括了全世界主要的应用软件。计量经济圈认为没有最好，只有最适合自己胃口的。真正的大咖很多时候只用很简单易学的软件，但做出来的成果却成为后来者的标杆。文末有你意想不到的收获。

以下软件有的是综合性的，有的是专门性的，计量经济圈推荐那些开放性的、使用者多的、简单易学的计量软件，比如Amos, Eviews, Rats, Stata, Spss, R等。计量经济学的背后主要是概率论和统计回归，把这些看起来学术性很强的概念想成生活哲学，那么我们会发现数学之美，凡是真正的“大家作品”往往看起来简单明了。
