This paper evaluates the performance, usability, and functional integrity of EViews 12 native for macOS. Historically, econometricians using Apple hardware relied on virtualization (Parallels, Boot Camp) or remote desktop solutions. With the release of EViews 12, a fully native macOS version (supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3 architectures) was introduced. This study assesses its interface design, speed of computation (Monte Carlo simulations), compatibility with external data sources (CSV, Excel, SQL), and reproducibility of results compared to its Windows counterpart. Findings indicate that while EViews 12 for macOS closes the cross-platform gap significantly, minor discrepancies in add-in functionality and batch processing remain. | Feature | EViews 12 Mac | Stata

Interpretation: Native Apple Silicon optimization accelerates matrix algebra, but batch scripting (using EViews Batch Language ) suffers from file I/O overhead on APFS.

EViews 12 for macOS is a mature, production-ready release that resolves the historic "Mac penalty" in econometric computing. While not a perfect mirror of the Windows version, its native speed and interface stability make it a viable primary platform for researchers. Future updates should focus on add-in compatibility and batch processing optimization.
