Summary: Best instruction guide for compiled GPE2 package
Review: This instruction guide for his compiled add-on package GPE2 to GAUSS comes with CD which contains GAUSS Light with official manuals and GPE add-on package to version 3.2, 3.5 and 3.6 respectively. The book covers a wide range of econometric topics from undergraduate to master student, along with brief summary of each topics and GPE2 instruction descriptions(parameter settings for GPE2) for the rest. This is best for those who want to evaluate GAUSS anyway for future purchase of full-version GAUSS or those who try to cover a whole topics of econometrics by a computer package, but not for those who research econometrics with simulation methods or financial economics which is so little described in this book. It would be anyway the first published edition of GUASS related "book" (not only software) after we had only some books in French for GAUSS. Depending on software versions you purchased, usually this GPE2 software bundled in the book does not support GAUSS ver. 4.X or higher. You may have to purchase another version of CD directly from ETEXT. And its grammar of programming is a little bit different from Aptech GAUSS itself, some common but some completely different. You should consider this as some kind of add-on.
