Product Description
The Times Higher, 31 May 2002
"This is a book that I expect to find extremely valuable for reference in research contexts, and it should also be a first-rate basis for teaching."
Product Description
This graduate text provides an intuitive but rigorous treatment of contemporary methods used in microeconometric research. The book makes clear that applied microeconometrics is about the estimation of marginal and treatment effects, and that parametric estimation is simply a means to this end. It also clarifies the distinction between causality and statistical association. The book focuses specifically on cross section and panel data methods. Population assumptions are stated separately from sampling assumptions, leading to simple statements as well as to important insights. The unified approach to linear and nonlinear models and to cross section and panel data enables straightforward coverage of more advanced methods. The numerous end-of-chapter problems are an important component of the book. Some problems contain important points not fully described in the text, and others cover new ideas that can be analyzed using tools presented in the current and previous chapters. Several problems require the use of the data sets located at the author's website.

Wooldridge, as it is known to Econ grad students, is the gold standard of cross-section and panel data econometric theory and practice. At the core of many grad student courses on Cross section and panel data you become familiar with this text and with Wooldridge's particular way of describing, assessing and answering problems. Do not go near this book unless you have a decent background in statistics or econometrics of some sort, maybe look at Wooldridge's Introductory Econometrics as a starting base, or to brush up, or to get explanations of concepts that are often defined very formally and not at all intuitively in this advanced text.
Greene's Econometric Analysis complements Wooldridge well, and is often the baseline before Wooldridge in many courses. In Greene's 6th Edition there is a new and comprehensive discussion of Panel Data techniques as well as an easier discussion of Asymptotics that can help those who struggle with some of the concepts in Wooldridge.

I have always been afraid of maths and econometrics, with no good reason to be honest. I have just skimmed through the book and am quite impressed with the thorough texture of it. It has the depth of a text that is required to meet the needs of graduate and postgraduate studies and also handy for serious researchers who sometimes find themselves on a road hump of getting stuck in huge data sets. For students, I'd recommend to have the authors "Introduction to Econometrics" and the newer edition "Introduction to Econometrics: A modern Approach" close by, in case they find some of the discussions more advanced. A must have, I would rather say!

Very great book. The book that anyone should have if they want to learn some theory and practice of econometric analysis. Furthermore on the website of the author are solutions to exercizes. I really love this book
