Description

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.

 


Features

  • An elementary statistics chapter, written by leading statistics author Gary Smith, lays the foundation for the text.
  • An emphasis on modern regression topics like the White test, heteroskedasticity-corrected standard errors, the AR (I) adjustment for serial correlation, Akaike's Information Criterion, the Schwarz criterion, and nonstationarity, ensures the reader keeps pace with the profession.
  • At the instructor's discretion, the textbook can be packaged with the Student Version of EViews 4.1, the market-leading Windows-based econometric software package.
  • A Web Site containing the text's data sets already formatted for four of the most commonly used regression software packages: EViews, ASCII, and Excel, plus additional interactive regression learning exercises.
  • Matrix algebra is not used and proofs and calculus are relegated to the footnotes.


New To This Edition

  • Each section has been carefully revised to make it clearer and easier to understand for beginning econometrics students.
  • Using Econometrics 5/e is the first text to be packaged with the student version of EViews 4.1 at a very low additional cost.
  • In collaboration with Peter Kennedy, well-known author of A Guide to Econometrics, Studenmund has developed two new sections for the Fifth Edition: "The Ten Commandments of Applied Econometrics," and "What to Check if You Get an Unexpected Sign."
  • Expanded discussion of Newy-West & White standard errors, spurious regression, nonstationarity, the Dickey-Fuller test, and cointegration.
  • New example-based end-of-chapter exercises can be used to create problem sets, and will promote greater student understanding.
  • New two-color design.
