SummaryTable of Contents
Combining single-equation linear regression analysis with intuitive real-world examples and exercises is key to the success of Using Econometrics. Clear writing and a practical approach to econometrics that eschews the use of complex matrix algebra and calculus evidence this essential text's accessibility. As the subtitle, A Practical Guide, implies, this book is aimed not only at beginning econometrics students, but also at regression users looking for a refresher and at experienced practitioners who want a convenient reference.
