In this paper, we set up a dynamic factor model in EViews using only a small amount of programming. The model is particularly useful for nowcasting the economy, that is,forecasting of the very recent past, the present, or the very near future of economic activity.A subroutine that estimates the model is provided. In a simulation study, the precisionof the estimated factors are evaluated, and in an empirical example, the usefulness of themodel is illustrated.
