Synopsis
The success of the first edition of Econometrics by Example, from best-selling author Damodar Gujarati, can be attributed to the example-led, learning-by-doing approach that avoids discussion of complex theory or mathematics. The new edition has retained this method of relating the complex nature of econometrics in an engaging and student-friendly way whilst adding fresh new examples and two brand new chapters on Quantile Regression Modeling and Multivariate Regression Models.
Synopsis
The second edition of this bestselling textbook retains its unique learning-by-doing approach to the study of econometrics. Rather than relying on complex theoretical discussions and complicated mathematics, this book explains econometrics from a practical point of view by walking the student through real-life examples, step by step.
The second edition has been fully revised and updated, and features two brand new chapters on Quantile Regression Modeling and Multivariate Regression Models, new extended examples accompanied by real-life data, and new student exercises at the end of each chapter.
