Introduction to Econometrics: Brief Edition (Addison-Wesley Series in Economics) von James H. Stock (Autor), Mark W. Watson (Autor)

Softcover. Zustand: gut. Auflage: Brief (26. Februar 2007). This text is unusually brief when compared to most econometrics texts, and the brevity reflects the coverage of topics. Nevertheless, the authors have done a favor for those of us who have to teach regression to students without strong backgrounds in statistics, and whose interests do not take them into comparatively esoteric material. As it is, the book does a good job of covering basic issues essential to using OLS regression for applied work in most institutional settings. The book is written so that students find it more accessible than other texts, though most still find it pretty heavy going. The book is replete with graphs and charts, clarifying important issues. Examples are numerous and instructive, as are questions for students to answer and problems for them to solve. More and more academic majors are requiring their students to gain a working knowledge of regression analysis. Stock and Watson's book makes that task less onerous, and it recognizes that most students will not have to go beyond the core topics needed to work with useful but relatively simple models.
