Macroeconomics: Principles and Tools.......2004-11-19
This easy-to-read, well-structured textbook is an excellent source of information for any economics student. I used this book for Principles of Macroeconomics, an online course I took over the summer. The book is simple yet gives sufficient detail on many topics to not only provide a broad overview, but it is able to go quite in depth. The authors provide the student with a great deal of tools to use and supply many activities, questions and methods to help relate concepts to the real world. This book is written much better than my Advanced Macroeconomics text and is much more student-friendly.
Not perfect, but pretty good.......2001-05-01
The book is by no means perfect, but it's a darn good book. Its major imperfection is that many important concepts are spread around and not specifically brought to the forefront alone. Otherwise, though, it allows for a great foundation in Macroeconomics for your GECO 200 or equivalent class.
Macroeconomics: Principles & Tools Review.......2000-03-31
This book gives a great overview of the study of economics. I used it for an Introduction to Global Economics class in college and found it to be easy to read and understand. The information is extremely up-to-date, and is displayed not only through text, but by charts and graphs as well. There also additional materials (practice test questions, a CD rom, and a guide to researching economics on the internet) which accompany the text which are available as well. Overall, a great book for the study of basic economics!

Book Description
Econometrics: A Modern Introduction conditions students to think like econometricians right from the start by opening with a unique Monte Carlo exercise, and connects econometrics to economic theory through a series of exemplary econometric analyses presented throughout the text. Students learn to critically evaluate economic conclusions through the use of original data and compelling topics such as discrimination, demand for cocaine, capital punishment, and infant mortality.

Worth the price.......2007-02-12
For those looking for the intuition behind econometrics, this textbook delivers. Not that there isn't any math, it is just that the understanding the theory is the priority. Obviously, a lot of work went into the refining the presentation, therefore we cannot begrudge the authour the rewards for his efforts.
Book Description
Integrating a contemporary approach to econometrics with the powerful computational tools offered by Stata, An Introduction to Modern Econometrics Using Stata focuses on the role of method-of-moments estimators, hypothesis testing, and specification analysis and provides practical examples that show how the theories are applied to real data sets using Stata. As an expert in Stata, the author successfully guides readers from the basic elements of Stata to the core econometric topics. He first describes the fundamental components needed to effectively use Stata. The book then covers the multiple linear regression model, linear and nonlinear Wald tests, constrained least-squares estimation, Lagrange multiplier tests, and hypothesis testing of nonnested models. Subsequent chapters center on the consequences of failures of the linear regression model's assumptions. The book also examines indicator variables, interaction effects, weak instruments, underidentification, and generalized method-of-moments estimation. The final chapters introduce panel-data analysis and discrete- and limited-dependent variables and the two appendices discuss how to import data into Stata and Stata programming. Presenting many of the econometric theories used in modern empirical research, this introduction illustrates how to apply these concepts using Stata. The book serves both as a supplementary text for undergraduate and graduate students and as a clear guide for economists and financial analysts.

good crash intro to necessary STATA commands.......2007-05-14
This book gives a good overview of some of the commands one would need to do regression analysis with STATA. I needed something to give me a quick intro to STATA and this book has helped me a lot. Howver, just like MS Excel, STATA has tons of commands that I probably will never touch!
much cheaper from stata-press website.......2007-01-27
Not a review, sorry, but a tip for potential purchasers:
This book is much cheaper from stata-press dot com.
Book Description
The focus of this book is on clarifying the mathematical and statistical foundations of econometrics. Therefore, the text provides all the proofs, or at least motivations if proofs are too complicated, of the mathematical and statistical results necessary for understanding modern econometric theory. In this respect, it differs from other econometrics textbooks.
Download Description
This book is intended for use in a rigorous introductory PhD level course in econometrics, or in a field course in econometric theory. It covers the measure-theoretical foundation of probability theory, the multivariate normal distribution with its application to classical linear regression analysis, various laws of large numbers, central limit theorems and related results for independent random variables as well as for stationary time series, with applications to asymptotic inference of M-estimators, and maximum likelihood theory. Some chapters have their own appendices containing the more advanced topics and/or difficult proofs. Moreover, there are three appendices with material that is supposed to be known. Appendix I contains a comprehensive review of linear algebra, including all the proofs. Appendix II reviews a variety of mathematical topics and concepts that are used throughout the main text, and Appendix III reviews complex analysis. Therefore, this book is uniquely self-contained.
Book Description
About two hundred and forty years ago, an English clergyman named Thomas Bayes developed a method to calculate the chances of uncertain events in the light of accumulating evidence. Though his method has extensive applications to the work of economists, it is only recent advances in computing that have made it possible to exploit its full power.In this new and expanding area, Tony Lancaster 's text provides a comprehensive introduction to the Bayesian way of doing applied economics. Using clear explanations and practical illustrations and problems, the text presents innovative, computer-intensive ways for applied economists to use the Bayesian method. In addition, each chapter includes numerical and graphical examples and demonstrates their solutions using the S programming language and Bugs software.

Good book!.......2007-04-12
I'm taking an intro to Bayesian stats class and we are using the Carlin & Louis book -- it is a POS.
I found this book in the library and it is much better. It gives very clear explanations of the ideas, and lots of concrete worked examples. Props to the author.
Clear as crystal and plenty of workouts.......2006-07-25
This is as clear as crystal. It also has plenty of workouts. It is a very useful volume.
Great Book.......2006-03-19
If you are looking for a book for Bayesian estimation, this is the one. The first several chapters say it all about Bayesian methods. The rest of the book is applications. Very helpful reading for learning the method.
Book Description
This book presents modern developments in time series econometrics that are applied to macroeconomic and financial time series. It attempts to bridge the gap between methods and realistic applications. This book contains the most important approaches to analyse time series which may be stationary or nonstationary. Modelling and forecasting univariate time series is the starting point. For multiple stationary time series Granger causality tests and vector autoregressive models are presented. For real applied work the modelling of nonstationary uni- or multivariate time series is most important. Therefore, unit root and cointegration analysis as well as vector error correction models play a central part. Modelling volatilities of financial time series with autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic models is also treated.

Excellent book for starter in Econometrics.......1998-02-20
Highly recommended to those study in UK! With concise explanation, helpful examples of Microfit printout, it illustrates the concept of econometric clearly. I especially recommended the chapters related to violation of assumptions of BLUE. It's best for courses with Microfit as their application software cause it explains the Microfit printout very clearly
It is available in UK bookshops though not available on Amazon.

Highly Recommended.......2002-12-21
As a post graduate student facing an econometrics course for the first time I found this book to be invaluable. I found the delivery of material particularly in the `modern' topics to be much more accessible than in either Gujarati or Enders. Some knowledge of statistics and some elements of mathematics are required, but as I quickly learned, any text on econometrics at this level requires these skills. Some authors try to overcome this hurdle by including reviews of statistics and matrix algebra either in an appendix or in an introductory chapter. Watson & Teelucksingh do not do this. They present any required techniques in the body of the text . While for me in a few instances the necessary skills required reference to introductory statistics texts, I found this to be more convenient than the summaries that are found in the appendices or introductions of other econometrics texts. After all, such summaries are typically attempts to fit elegant theoretical constructs into a few bullet points. My recommendation to the post-grad student to whom econometrics is new is to use this text and where necessary support it with whatever statistics text you were comfortable with at undergrad level.
quality of this book.......2002-10-18
the book is simple and makes the tough parts of econometrics understandable.however some core background topics are lacking... statistical depth for persons without a solid background in statistics. such is found in other texts(see jonston, gujurati, koutsoyannis, intrilligator).furthermore the book assumes prior knowledge of matrices,hence those without a solid background herein,at left at a loss.

Book Lovers Laugh at Yourself.......2000-04-23
This is an amusing look at writers with blocks, finicky readers, moody editors, and a wry sideways glance at promotional stunts and desktop publishing. While it's not sidesplitting funny, it certainly is an amusing little collection around its theme and good for more than a chuckle or two. If you are in the writing or publishing business you'll recognize all the characters and situations and it will be a lot funnier for you than for most.
