Customer Reviews

One of the best applied econometrics books
This book is applications-oriented. It illustrates all methods with detailed real-world applications. Secondly, this book is organized in a unique way so that students can pick and choose the most appropriate problems, according to their backgrounds and interests. However, it does not attempt to be exhaustive in coverage.

Challanging but Insightful
Challenging but insightful read. Requires a solid background in econometrics and a good understanding of mathematical principles. Very theoretic in nature and much weaker on the practical applications. Good for those looking for a deeper understanding of what they already know - but not great to learn from for a first timer.

Good deal

I couldn't ask more.
