More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The primary objective of the fourth edition of Essentials of Econometrics is to provide a user-friendly introduction to econometric theory and techniques. This text provides a simple and straightforward introduction to econometrics for the beginner. The book is designed to help students understand econometric techniques through extensive examples, careful explanations, and a wide variety of problem material. In each of the editions, I have tried to incorporate major developments in the field in an intuitive and informative way without resort to matrix algebra, calculus, or statistics beyond the introductory level. The fourth edition continues that tradition.
From the Publisher
New Chapter 15 covering simultaneous equation models. The key concepts of the simultaneity problem, the identification problem, indirect least-squares (ILS) and two-stage least-squares (2SLS) are introduced.
An appendix to Chapter 1 provides a list of web sites directing the student to a variety of economic data.
Chapter 3 now covers bootstrap sampling. Monte Carlo (simulation) experiments are introduced in extending the discussion of the sampling, or probability, distribution of a random variable and the Central Limit Theorem (CLT).
Chapter 11 on heteroscedasticity includes White's general test of heteroscedasticity and White's heteroscedasticity-corrected standard errors and t-statistics.

A fantastic book for gaining a basic understanding of the subject. Have seen other books and trust me - you can easily get lost in some of them.
The english is good and the writing style helps you move through the book with ease without lose of continuity and thoughts.
A sound treatment at the basic level for anyone willing to learn the subject without the greek notations.

Gujarati's treatment of Econometrics is clearly a cut above the rest. His examples and explanations make it clear, and simple to understand. However, a pre-requisite for the reader would be to have done at least Maths C in the GCE "A" Levels.
