Economics

Combining single-equation linear regression analysis with intuitive real-world examples and exercises is key to the success of Using Econometrics.  Clear writing and a practical approach to econometrics that eschews the use of complex matrix algebra and calculus evidence this essential text's accessibility.

As the subtitle, A Practical Guide, implies, this book is aimed not only at beginning econometrics students, but also at regression users looking for a refresher and at experienced practitioners who want a convenient reference.

• An elementary statistics chapter, written by leading statistics author Gary Smith, lays the foundation for the text.
• An emphasis on modern regression topics like the White test, heteroskedasticity-corrected standard errors, the AR (I) adjustment for serial correlation, Akaike's Information Criterion, the Schwarz criterion, and nonstationarity, ensures the reader keeps pace with the profession.
• At the instructor's discretion, the textbook can be packaged with the Student Version of EViews 4.1, the market-leading Windows-based econometric software package.
• A Web Site containing the text's data sets already formatted for four of the most commonly used regression software packages: EViews, ASCII, and Excel, plus additional interactive regression learning exercises.
• Matrix algebra is not used and proofs and calculus are relegated to the footnotes.

• Each section has been carefully revised to make it clearer and easier to understand for beginning econometrics students.
• Using Econometrics 5/e is the first text to be packaged with the student version of EViews 4.1 at a very low additional cost.
• In collaboration with Peter Kennedy, well-known author of A Guide to Econometrics, Studenmund has developed two new sections for the Fifth Edition: "The Ten Commandments of Applied Econometrics," and "What to Check if You Get an Unexpected Sign."
• Expanded discussion of Newy-West & White standard errors, spurious regression, nonstationarity, the Dickey-Fuller test, and cointegration.
• New example-based end-of-chapter exercises can be used to create problem sets, and will promote greater student understanding.
• New two-color design.
