Summary

Introduction to Econometric Modelling provides an introduction to econometrics for undergraduate students. In this book, Gary Koop provides a broader set of models than is offered in existing textbooks and places greater focus on models (e.g. the regression model) than the methods that are used to analyze the models.

Introduction to Econometrics Summary

Introduction to Econometrics by Gary Koop (University of Strathclyde)

Introduction to Econometrics has been written as a core textbook for a first course in econometrics taken by undergraduate or graduate students. It is intended for students taking a single course in econometrics with a view towards doing practical data work. It will also be highly useful for students interested in understanding the basics of econometric theory with a view towards future study of advanced econometrics. To achieve this end, it has a practical emphasis, showing how a wide variety of models can be used with the types of data sets commonly used by economists. However, it also has enough discussion of the underlying econometric theory to give the student a knowledge of the statistical tools used in advanced econometrics courses.

Introduction to Econometrics Reviews

An introductory text offering econometric methodology for quantifying and managing this variety of risk, illustrated by empirical examples. (Times Higher Education Supplement, Thursday 28th February)
