Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"At last an econometrician aware of the robust finding that not every student who needs or wants to take econometrics is a math genius."--Robert Rycroft, Mary Washington College
"A fine textbook which may be used in an undergraduate econometrics course at any school. Fills an important gap in that it presents an elementary and highly readable discussion of most topics along with Monte Carlo experiments and data applications."--Sunil Sapra, California State University
"An excellent introduction to econometrics. Ideas are very well motivated. Very intuitive approach. Good mix of theory and examples. The best of the growing bunch of undergraduate econometric texts."--Gary D. Ferrier, University of Arkansas
"Without sacrificing technical rigor, Dougherty's text provides more intuition to what econometrics does than any other currently available."--Bill Herrin, University of the Pacific
"Clear organization...well written."--Paul Rappaport, Temple University
"This book takes econometric training one giant step in the right direction toward real applied research."--Edward e. Leamer, University of California, Los Angeles --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Best introductory book,
This review is from: Introduction to Econometrics (Paperback)
Although I have taken numerous courses in statistics, I have sometimes struggled to fully understand some of the key concepts in Econometrics. I finally decided to start from the beginning, and I read this book cover to cover. This text has made a world of difference for me as I am now able to pick up the standard Econometrics texts (Maddala, Woolridge, Greene, etc) and better understand more complex models. Another advantage of this text is that Dougherty uses Stata output and offers explanations on interpreting the output. This is a must read for anyone wanting a straightforward presentation of basic Econometrics.

A terrific book.,
This review is from: Introduction to Econometrics (Book and 2 Disks) (Hardcover)
An excellent guide to someone starting out on an econometrics courese at university level. It really cuts through all the mathematical jargon that is usually found in books of this type and leaves the reader with a real understanding of the subject.

This review is from: Introduction to Econometrics (Paperback)
Clear and complete, often shedding light on nuanced details left unexplained in other intro texts, this book is masterfully written. In the past I've found statistics and numerical methods to be nauseatingly dull but this book is interesting and keeps your attention.
