About this title

Synopsis

Essentials of Applied Econometrics prepares students for a world in which more data surround us every day and in which econometric tools are put to diverse uses. Written for students in economics and for professionals interested in continuing an education in econometrics, this succinct text not only teaches best practices and state-of-the-art techniques, but uses vivid examples and data obtained from a variety of real world sources. The book’s emphasis on application uniquely prepares the reader for today’s econometric work, which can include analyzing causal relationships or correlations in big data to obtain useful insights.
