This text bridges the gap between the mechanics of econometrics and modern applications of econometrics by employing a systematic approach motivated by the major problems facing applied researchers today. The approach of this text recognizes that econometrics has moved from a specialized mathematical description of economics to an applied interpretation based on empirical research techniques Throughout the text, the emphasis on examples gives a concrete reality to economic relationships and allows treatment of interesting policy questions in a realistic and accessible framework.
The author will carry several of the examples over multiple chapters: This increases the unity of the text by tying together various concepts. Many of the examples will still by stand-along cases, though. Thus we still have an advantage over those competitors who only use running examples, since we will have more total applications.
Student Examples: The author will provide one or more examples of student papers for students and instructors to use as a model for their own assignments. This will help students and free-up time for professors.
Abundane of Real-World Examples: Many new real-world examples will be added to keep the text up-to-date and exciting for students.
Extensive, Up-to-Date Data Sets: More than 60 data sets, many of which come from very recent studies, accompany the text and are used in numerous examples and computer exercises.
Revised Math: In the Linear Regression Appendix E
