Description of Guide to Econometrics |
A Guide to Econometrics has established itself as the first-choice text for teachers and students throughout the world who require an intuitive introduction to the subject without the notation and technical detail that characterize most textbooks. This overview has enabled students to make sense more easily of what instructors are doing when they produce proofs, theorems and formulas.
This fifth edition updates the contents and references throughout, while retaining the basic structure and flavor of earlier editions. New chapters on panel data and applied econometrics expand the text’s coverage, while other chapters are significantly revised.
- Adds new chapters on panel data and applied econometrics.
- Provides an intuitive overview of econometrics.
- Groups technical information at the end of each chapter, thus simplifying the main text.
- Instructor's Manual available, containing answers to odd numbered end-of-chapter questions.
