SynopsisThe modern 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. It 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. 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., Succeed in econometrics with INTRODUCTORY ECONOMETRICS and its accompanying resources! Easy-to-read and student-friendly, this economics text places an emphasis on examples that give a concrete reality to economic relationships. With study tools found throughout the text, exam preparation and class projects have never been easier. Coverage of important knowledge used for empirical work and carrying out research projects in a variety of applied social science fields gives you a solid foundation for social science research.
