Appropriate for sophomore to senior-level courses in economic statistics and econometrics.
Designed for courses in economic statistics and introductory econometrics that aim to mix the development of technique with its application to real economic analysis. The text emphasizes formulating and interpreting regression models in economics, rather than on deriving and presenting technical material. It covers only those statistical topics that constitute a foundation for basic econometrics, and treats regression models in detail.
