RATS is an excellent tool for use in undergraduate and graduate-level courses in econometrics and time series analysis. We describe below the various options for obtaining RATS licenses for student use:
We offer time-limited "classroom" versions of RATS for just $60 with printed documentation, or just $25 without printed documentation. In both cases, electronic versions of the RATS manuals are included in, the form of Adobe PDF files. The Classroom version of RATS will run for 1 year from the date of first use.
Students who want to upgrade from Classroom RATS to a full version can do so at the discounted student price (see below) and are entitled to a $25 or $60 credit with proof of purchase.
Classroom RATS can be purchased as a group order in quantities of 5 or more, or ordered through a university bookstore.
Full-time students can purchase full versions of RATS at a discount of $200 off the list price. For example, students can purchase WinRATS for just $300, instead of the list price of $500.
Please see Student Discounts for additional details.
Educational institutions can also purchase multi-user licenses for school network or computer lab installations, providing access for both students and faculty. Prices start with 4-user licenses, and are available for any size installation.
Institutions with multi-users licenses also have the option of distributing CDs with the time-limited Classroom RATS to students and faculty, as long as the total number of users does not exceed the size of the license.
