Introduction To Econometrics (Book And 2 Disks)

A basic introduction written in non-technical language, this remarkable text keeps mathematical demands to a minimum so that students can spend less time on technicalities and more on understanding basic concepts. With many exercises in the text, a floppy disk containing data sets on expenditure and price for different commodities, an unusually detailed teacher's manual with additional exercises and masters for overhead transparencies, and spectacular video graphic sequences, this uniquely rich introductory text will transform the teaching of the subject.Review"At last an econometrician aware of the robust finding that not every student who needs or wants to take econometrics is a math genius."--Robert Rycroft, Mary Washington College"A fine textbook which may be used in an undergraduate econometrics course at any school. Fills an important gap in that it presents an elementary and highly readable discussion of most topics along with Monte Carlo experiments and data applications."--Sunil Sapra, California StateUniversity"An excellent introduction to econometrics. Ideas are very well motivated. Very intuitive approach. Good mix of theory and examples. The best of the growing bunch of undergraduate econometric texts."--Gary D. Ferrier, University of Arkansas"Without sacrificing technical rigor, Dougherty's text provides more intuition to what econometrics does than any other currently available."--Bill Herrin, University of the Pacific"Clear organization...well written."--Paul Rappaport, Temple University"This book takes econometric training one giant step in the right direction toward real applied research."--Edward e. Leamer, University of California, Los AngelesAbout the AuthorChristopher Dougherty, Professor of Economics, London School of Economics and Political Science.
