Applied Econometrics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This textbook offers a unique blend of theory and practical application. Taking students from a basic level up to an advanced understanding in an intuitive, step-by-step fashion, it provides perfect preparation for doing applied econometric work. Economic tests and methods of estimation are presented clearly, and practical guidance on using several types of software packages is given. Real world data is used throughout and emphasis is given to the interpretation of the results, and the conclusions to be drawn from them in econometric work.

This book will be core reading for undergraduate and Master's students on an Economics or Finance degree, who take a course in applied econometrics. Its practical nature makes it perfect for modules requiring a research project.

Rezensionen

'Asteriou and Hall combine an excellent treatment of econometric theory with accessible guides to multiple statistical software packages; a rare combination in today's market.' Douglas Webber, Temple University, USA

'This book strikes a perfect balance between theoretical discussion and practical application, expressing quite abstract ideas in a transparent and easy-to-understand way - all of which are vital for anyone learning econometrics.' Kavita Sirichand, Loughborough University, UK

'This new edition provides a crisp and clear exposition, going from basic concepts to advanced topics. An excellent book that will be essential reading for intermediate and more advanced undergraduate as well as graduate students with a serious interest in empirical methods in economics.' Brian Henry, Visiting Research Fellow at the NIESR, United Kingdom

'If you are looking for a fast track towards being able to do applied econometric work, this textbook is the ideal solution.' Reinhard Neck, University of Klagenfurt, Austria

'Asteriou and Hall provide an exceptional and accessible introduction to modern econometrics. The book is organized in a way that provides a natural progression of the major subjects in the field, embellished with real-world data applications. A key innovation is the step-by-step presentation of statistical tests that are used to interpret results and draw conclusions. The book is to be ranked with the best introductory econometrics texts.' George S. Tavlas, Member: Monetary Policy Council, Bank of Greece
