The modern approach of this text recognizes that econometrics has moved from a specialized mathematical description of economics to an applied interpretation based on empirical research techniques. It bridges the gap between the mechanics of econometrics and modern applications of econometrics by employing a systematic approach motivated by the major problems facing applied researchers today. Throughout the text, the emphasis on examples gives a concrete reality to economic relationships and allows treatment of interesting policy questions in a realistic and accessible framework.

Review
The approach taken by the author is very refreshing, and I agree that his approach is more consistent with my common econometric practice.
This book helps minimize my effort in motivation and applications. I love the data availability and connectivity it provides. I am also less reluctant to teach undergraduate and early masters level courses given that this text can do a great deal of "handholding" of students on my behalf. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A very good book,

This review is from: Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach (with Economic Applications Online, Econometrics Data Sets with Solutions Manual Web Site Printed Access Card) (Hardcover)
Wooldridge's explanations are clear and useful. After a semester hacking my way through the dense brush of matrices in Greene's book, I realized I needed some help. Now I go to Wooldridge's treatment first, to make sure I understand the main concepts. Then I go to Greene for the detail, if I need to.

Introductory Econometrics,
By Edward Blomdahl "Polymath288" (Cape Cod, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach (with Economic Applications Online, Econometrics Data Sets with Solutions Manual Web Site Printed Access Card) (Hardcover)
I'm using "Introductory Econometrics" for review, and in that respect it's very thorough. But it can also be used, as the title asserts, as an introductory textbook.
Mr. Wooldredge is very practical, as he keeps the topics at the "applied" level. He includes just enough theory to help in understanding how and why the model works, and he keeps repeating what every econometrician knows: econometrics is problematic in application. Keep it as a reference after you finish the class. One can also get the database that Mr. Wooldridge uses (as well as several others) by going to the Wake Forest University website and downloading a free copy of the econometric software package, "Gretl." Gretl will handle any econometric models in "Introductory Econometrics."

Excellent for cross-sectional but needs complements for time series,
By
This review is from: Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach (with Economic Applications Online, Econometrics Data Sets with Solutions Manual Web Site Printed Access Card) (Hardcover)
As the author says, the book is "aimed at undergraduates but it is adaptable to master's students". It will provide you with excellent and extensive real life explanations. What is better about this book is that you can redo every example in the book by using the online data that it provides with. This was it is easier what happens by experimenting. In that sense this book is superior to many others where you cannot see how the results of estimations came about.
There is only one thing to take into account. Although there are three parts to this book, the shortest one is time series. Its coverage will is therefore not very comprehensive if you want basic explanations like the VAR, GARCH models etc... In that case, I would recommend the book New Directions in Econometric Practice by Wojciech W. Charemza.
