Abstract
There exists a one-way communication between EViews and R, as the former can run the
codes of the latter, but the reverse is not the case. We create an R package EviewsR, which allows
users of R, R Markdown and Quarto to execute EViews codes. In essence, EviewsR does not only
provide functions for base R, but also adds EViews to the existing knitr’s knit-engines. We also show
how EViews equation, graph, series and table objects can be imported and customised dynamically
and reproducibly in R, R Markdown and Quarto document. Therefore, EviewsR will improve the
accuracy, transparency, credibility, reliability, replicability and reproducibility of research conducted
with EViews and R.
