Analysis of Economic Data 4e - Paperback

by Gary Koop (Author)

Analysis of Economic Data has, over three editions, become firmly established as a successful textbook for students studying data analysis whose primary interest is not in econometrics, statistics or mathematics.

It introduces students to basic econometric techniques and shows the reader how to apply these techniques in the context of real-world empirical problems. The book adopts a largely non-mathematical approach relying on verbal and graphical inuition and covers most of the tools used in modern econometrics research. It contains extensive use of real data examples and involves readers in hands-on computer work.
