DESCRIPTION:
A terrific book. An excellent guide to someone starting out on an econometrics courese at university level. It really cuts through all the mathematical jargon that is usually found in books of this type and leaves the reader with a real understanding of the subject.. Superb Clear and complete, often shedding light on nuanced details left unexplained in other intro texts, this book is masterfully written. In the past I've found statistics and numerical methods to be nauseatingly dull but this book is interesting and keeps your attention.. M Gemmill-Toyama said Best introductory book. Although I have taken numerous courses in statistics, I have sometimes struggled to fully understand some of the key concepts in Econometrics. I finally decided to start from the beginning, and I read this book cover to cover. This text has made a world of difference for me as I am now able to pick up the standard Econometrics texts (Maddala, Woolridge, Greene, etc) and better understand more complex models.
Leamer, University of California, Los Angeles . The best of the growing bunch of undergraduate econometric texts."--Gary D. Very intuitive approach. Ideas are very well motivated. 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 organizationwell written."--Paul Rappaport, Temple University"This book takes econometric training one giant step in the right direction toward real applied research."--Edward e. Good mix of theory and examples. 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 State University"An excellent introduction to econometrics. "At last an econometrician aware of the robust finding that not every student who needs or wants to take

The text also provided to facilitate learning. Introduction to Econometrics provides an introduction to econometrics using analytical and intuitive methods of the classical linear regression model. The text also contains a large number of practical exercises, enabling students to practice what they have learned. Mathematical notation is kept simple and step-by-step explanations of mathematical proofs are provided to facilitate learning. This new edition has been substantially updated and revised with the inclusion of new material on specification tests, binary choice models, tobit analysis, sample selection bias, nonstationary time series, and unit root tests and basic cointegration. The new edition is also accompanied by a website with Powerpoint slideshows giving a parallel graphical treatment of topics treated in the book, cross-section and time series data sets, manuals for practical exercises, and lecture note extending the text.
