Can Eviews extract Orbis data directly?

Postby wilshire » Tue Nov 24, 2015 5:40 am

From the Data registry, I could not find Orbis. Is there a way I can extract Orbis data directly?
Thanks.

I have not heard of Orbis, but assuming they have an ODBC driver, yes.

ORBIS database contains financial data for millions of firms.

Yes, it uses ODBC drive. How can I use the drive to get the data?

File->Open->Foreign Data as Workfile

Then change File Type to ODBC Database.
