Trade ReviewReview from previous edition What sets this book apart is abundance of available online material... * Sunčica Vujić, University of Antwerp *
This is an excellent text for introductory econometrics courses and this edition is even better, especially with the increase in figures and charts. * Dr Bruce Morley, University of Bath *
Students of finance need to be comfortable with the econometric tools necessary to both grasp empirical work and undertake it. This text provides an excellent point of reference and constant companion in developing precisely that understanding. * Paul Stewart, University of Ulster *
Excellent textbook, which I have adopted as required reading for my class. The explanations are very clear, and yet it is very concise and does not overwhelm students. * Thomas Chadefaux, Trinity College Dublin *
