Econometrics

This textbook teaches some of the basic econometric methods and the underlying assumptions behind them. It also includes a treatment of more advanced topics in time series, limited dependent variables and panel data models, as well as specifications testing, Gauss-Newton regressions and regression diagnostics. The exercises contain theoretical problems that should supplement the understanding of the material in each chapter. In addition, the text has a set of empirical illustrations demonstrating some of the basic results learned in each chapter. The empirical exercises are solved using several econometric software packages.
