Theory meets software: this lab walks through analysing seasonally-adjusted quarterly UK real GDP in EViews — loading the workfile, transforming the series, reading plots and correlograms, and applying the modelling steps from lectures to real national-accounts data. The same workflow transfers directly to Stata or R.
