| EasyReg is a software written by Herman J. Bierens of Pennsylvania State University, useful to conduct various econometric estimation.
EasyReg is written in Visual Basic 5 and it is available only for Windows operating system. EasyReg isn't an open source software, but only freeware, that's to say it can be downloaded and distributed freely. The author asks to pay an amount only if you use it in commercial research. EasyReg hasn't a tutorial included (but for each analysis method there are useful guided tours which are included in the setup file or downloadable separately), however it is very easy to run, and it can be useful both in teaching (there is an option where you can select your own econometric level: undergraduate, intermediate and advanced), and in empirical economic research: really it was originally designed by the author to promote his own econometric techniques, but then he made the choice to build a more general software which could perform every kind of econometric analyses. EasyReg is a software with a windows-style user interface, where you can select different options. An EasyReg limit is that it isn't extensible in any way: by it you can use only the modules builded from its author. Nevetheless, EasyReg can be considered as a complete tool to perform econometric analyses and it can be compared with some commercial software. |

| In particular EasyReg can carry out the following analyses:
· Univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis · Nonlinear regression analysis · Maximum likelihood · Linear general method of moments · Nonlinear general method of moments estimation · Discrete dependent variables modeling (Probit and Logit) · ARIMA estimation · Johansen's cointegration analysis |

| EasyReg can import Excel files saved in csv format. | |
