Review

Aus den Rezensionen zur 4. Auflage:

"… Bereits in vierter Auflage liegt … dieses Lehrbuch des amerikanischen Wirtschaftsprofessors Badi Baltagi vor, das seinem Anspruch, auch schwierige Inhalte verständlich zu vermitteln, vollauf gerecht wird. … Zu jedem Kapitel gibt es Übungen und Beispiele, die eine wertvolle Lernhilfe sind. … Das Lehrbuch ist auf Englisch verfasst, was einem Gelegenheit gibt, die eigenen Sprachkenntnisse aufzufrischen und zu verbessern. … Ein äußerst nützliches Buch für alle, die sich gegen Ende ihres Bachelor- oder zu Beginn ihres Master- Studiums mit der Ökonometrie befassen." (in: STUDIUM Buchmagazin für Studierende, Sommersemester 2009, S. 17 f.)

From the Back Cover

This textbook teaches some of the basic econometric methods and the underlying assumptions behind them. It also includes a simple and concise treatment of more advanced topics in spatial correlation, panel data, limited dependent variables, regression diagnostics, specification testing and time series analysis. Some of the strengths of this book lie in presenting difficult material in a simple, yet rigorous manner. Each chapter has a set of theoretical exercises as well as an empirical illustration using a real economic application. These empirical exercises usually replicate a published article using Stata or Eviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow, September 24, 2008

This review is from: Econometrics (Paperback)

This book is very easy to follow (compared to Greene's econometrics), but it still manages to cover advanced level of econometrics modeling.
