Now in its third edition, Essential Econometric Techniques: A Guide to
Concepts and Applications is a concise, student-friendly textbook which
provides an introductory grounding in econometrics, with an emphasis on
the proper application and interpretation of results.
Drawing on the author's extensive teaching experience, this book offers
intuitive explanations of concepts such as heteroskedasticity and serial
correlation, and provides step-by-step overviews of each key topic.
This new edition contains more applications, brings in new material
including a dedicated chapter on panel data techniques, and moves the
theoretical proofs to appendices. After Chapter 7, students will be able
to design and conduct rudimentary econometric research. The next
chapters cover multicollinearity, heteroskedasticity, and
autocorrelation, followed by techniques for time-series analysis and
panel data.
Excel data sets for the end-of-chapter problems are available as a
digital supplement. A solutions manual is also available for
instructors, as well as PowerPoint slides for each chapter.
Essential Econometric Techniques shows students how economic hypotheses
can be questioned and tested using real-world data, and is the ideal
supplementary text for all introductory econometrics courses.
