The Practice of Econometrics : Classic and Contemporary

Rating:
Summary: A great econometric resource.
Review: I think this is an excelent econometric book. At the beginning of every chapter, you can find excelent case-examples describing the econometric tools you are about to study. However, I think it is recomendable to complete some statistics issues and topics with some other books like Kmenta's "Elements of Econometris" or Johnston & DiNardo, since Mr. Berndt is mainly focused in real world applications.

Summary: The best applied econometric book
Review: This is simply the best.
Many books have excellent theory, but no real cases for study and test. Hayashi's book, for example, try to combine theory and empirical exercises, but I think is a far better approach take a good theory book and a good applied-empirical book. The best option for the theory is a polemic debate (maybe Davidson and MacKinnon's Estimation and Inference) but the best option for the applied econometric book is not, because you have this one.
Enjoy it.
