Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Introduction to the Theory and Practice of Econometrics Comment: The book is excellent for the mathematically inclined student who masters well linear lagebra. It uses matrix notaion extensively and enables one to generalize results without getting lost. I used that book in my intermediate econometrics course at the undergraduate level. I am convinced it is a mistake to start learning econometrics by first using the algebraic approach then the matrix approach. This only brings about confusion. This book is excellent as when one thinks hard through theoretical results it is much easier to get a good grasp of the empirical results one finds in applied work. I always consult this book first when I am a bit rusty in classical and special topics in econometrics. The book is not up to date to more modern econometrics such as cointegration and unit root analysis (those subjects don't exist in it). More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: This Second Edition of the highly acclaimed introduction to econometrics retains its comprehensive nature and strong authorship, while incorporating much new material. New to this edition are a complete treatment of Bayesian inference, sampling theory, an appendix on linear algebra, and a computer handbook. Presentation covers modern statistical models and focuses on the sampling theory process by which the data were generated, and the statistical consequences of alternative decisions under uncertainty. Asymptotics are introduced early on, for use throughout. Includes at least one applied example to illustrate each model, and contains many analytical and numerical exercises.
