Introduction to Econometric Modelling provides an introduction to econometrics for undergraduate students. In this book, Gary Koop provides a broader set of models than is offered in existing textbooks and places greater focus on models (e.g. the regression model) than the methods that are used to analyze the models.

Introduction to Econometric Modelling provides an introduction to econometrics for undergraduate students. In this book, Gary Koop provides a broader set of models than is offered in existing textbooks and places greater focus on models (e.g. the regression model) than the methods that are used to analyze the models.Indem sie Modelle für die Voraussage wirtschaftlicher Entwicklungen bereitstellt, bildet die Ökonometrie heute einen Kernbereich der Wirtschaftswissenschaften - und hat sich damit zu einem zentralen Bestandteil wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Studiengänge entwickelt. Die hier vorgelegte Einführung eröffnet Einsteigern ebenso wie fortgeschrittenen Studierenden einen Zugang, der - im Unterschied zur Lehrbuchkonkurrenz - von vornherein auf einen starken Praxisbezug setzt. Der Verfasser, ausgewiesener Ökonometrieexperte, behandelt ein breites Spektrum ökonometrischer Modelle, u. a. das einfache und das multiple Regressionsmodell. Im Mittelpunkt seiner Darstellung steht dabei nicht Theoretisches, sondern die Anwendung der Modelle auf empirische Daten. Zahlreiche Beispiele und Übungsaufgaben unter Verwendung der Standardsoftware Strata ermöglichen die Einübung in Methoden und Modelle und schaffen so die Basis für ein selbstständiges empirisches Arbeiten.
