For first-¿year graduate courses in Econometrics for Social Scientists. Bridging the gap between social science studies and econometric analysis Designed to bridge the gap between social science studies and field-econometrics, Econometric Analysis, 8th Edition presents this ever-growing area at an accessible level. The book first introduces readers to basic techniques, a rich variety of models, and underlying theory that is easy to put into practice. It then presents readers with a sufficient theoretical background to understand advanced techniques and to recognize new variants of established models. This focus, along with hundreds of worked numerical examples, ensures that readers can apply the theory to real-world application and are prepared to be successful economists in the field.
The style of the text is a little too talky for my tastes and uses that dumb "case-study" format that business majors seem to love. But after wading far enough through the mist he eventually gets to the important mathematical theory and explains it fairly well.
Even for a graduate-level textbook, this text was unnecessarily pedantic. Worth skimming to understand the high-level ideas in econometrics, yet developing a nuanced understanding is not worth the time of a non-academic/research practitioner. For non-practitioners, this book is likely best used as a reference textbook for esoteric analysis, which unfortunately necessitates an initial read to understand the econometric tools at your disposal. I was definitely not the target audience, but I still benefitted from reading this text
Reading this as non economics major or a graduating student can be really challenging. It is a challenging read like most college textbooks. The mathematical notations used become more difficult to keep track of as you go deeper into the book, this and the complexity of the subject was the reason i couldn't follow much towards the later half. Still its a good textbook that can be used as a reference, at least i know what page to turn to if i ever encounter a similar problem in future.
Used this textbook for three semesters in my Econ Ph.D. program. It is not a friendly read, nor particularly well-organized. But it is a nice references to many, many obscure topics. And it makes attempts to be relevant and provide examples.
La bibbia dell'Econometria. "Econometric Analysis" è un libro assolutamente completo per quanto riguarda l'econometria tradizionale. Dedica 2 capitoli finali all'analisi delle serie storiche, riguardo a cui non entra eccessivamente nei dettagli.
