Rating: Summary: A must-have for any econometrician Review: I have been using this book since grad school and continue to use it at work. I enjoy his clear explanation of concepts and would recommend it to the bookshelf of any applied statistician/econometrician.
Rating: Summary: Not for beginners but : Review: I have to say that this book is getting a fair amount of negative review unfairly. If what you want is a cook book of quick formulas for application, this is not the book. If however you want a deep understanding of econometrics including proofs of basic concepts, this book is very worthwhile.It is not for those who are not prepared for mathematical rigor, nor is it appropriate for someone who has a casual interest in the subject; but, it is invaluable for anyone who wants a sound theoretical understanding of econometrics.
Rating: Summary: Fair Warning... Review: This book requires an English-to-English translation to decipher the deep, dark secrets of econometrics! This book was used in my graduate-level introduction to econometrics course and my classmates had the same problems that I had, if not worse! If you are a student who wishes to learn about econometrics, steer clear of this one!!! I recommend using Kennedy's Guide to Econometrics for a good introduction to many statistical concepts. Moreover, Michael Lewis-Beck has a monograph that discusses the basiscs of statistics. It is Sage Monograph #103. Furthermore, Greene's Econometric Analysis is also a good book for understanding econometrics. ALL of these are far better resources to understanding econometrics.
