Great Exposition, but Poor Notation.......2007-09-27
Great introduction to the subject, but the notation is poor. By presenting the material without matrix algebra, the multiple regression analysis becomes a convoluted mess of summation notation. Additionally, matrix notation is adopted in more advanced texts, making in beneficial to learn from the start.
A very good book.......2007-02-26
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.
Great for Self-studying.......2006-12-04
This books is excellent read. It builds good intuition, and is well suited for self-studying. It is also not too mathematical, no matrix notation, good for undergraduate students or as a review for graduate students. I can truly recommmend it.
Excellent for cross-sectional but needs complements for time series.......2006-12-01
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.
Wooldridge is best.......2005-10-03
Wooldridge is best (review refers to 2nd edition).
You don't need any other book to start intermediate econometrics or indeed econometrics at all once you know a little first-year statistics; the Amazon reviewers who prefer Gujarati or others are living in the dead past: W is better and easier and leaves very little out that G covers.
Ignore the tempting "dumbing down" implications of the publishers' advertising material whether filtered by Amazon or not; they don't need to sell the book because it's used all over the world in the best places and just walks out of the store. He dumbs down not at all or else, occasionally, very successfully.
The only possible alternative at this level (in fact well below) is Stock and Watson but they don't make you do exercises on data, which I assure you is essential fun.
Of course if you don't like exercises you can also read Peter Kennedy's Guide and philosophise. I imagine that the next step up is Greene's semi-encyclopedia or Davidson and MacKinnon's newer or older books, unless you choose to jump into the literature as W helps you to do.
All of these books just introduce Time Series too slowly and too late: try Terence Mills' several books on various aspects: he has the rare talent of simplicity AND brevity. Perhaps W's next book will be on Time Series (on which he has published).
By the way, it is easy and great fun to find inappropriate analyses in almost any econometrics book if you use a good package: David Hendry's PcGive suite etc is especially quick for this purpose: a few clicks and the graphs show the nonsense. I sometimes think that the popularity of EViews with students is precisely because inappropriate analyses are easily hidden. More expert people than me use Stata, but I don't know ....
I loved Streakieblondie's review, but I must tell her and you all that the Schaum book (I spare the author's blushes) is a stinker, useful only for getting through bad exams set by lazy lecturers, though many Schaum books in well-established areas are excellent. Both W and S&W are high-class professionals who happen to know how to write text-books, and they have all three collaborated with Nobel Prizewinners: so go for quality. Why don't the publishers' reviews and materials say this rather than implying that they've made good new stuff trivially easy? In my view W has judged it better than S&W.
If you're VERY keen, Wooldridge's other book on panel data is just terrific (but some matrices Streakieblondie, though with lots of clever help).
Book Description
This introduction to contemporary topics in the modelling of financial time series is data and problem driven, giving students the skills to estimate and interpret models, and intuitively grasp the underlying theoretical econometrics. An introductory knowledge of calculus, algebra, statistics and regression analysis is assumed. The book focuses on the needs of finance students and uses pedagogic textbook features throughout, notably in the later chapters, which offer advice on planning and executing a project in empirical finance, and which also evaluates sources of on-line financial information.

Worth the Money.......2007-05-01
This book all but saved my life.
Well-worth working through from start to finish.
Very comprehensive, truely applied and easy to understand book!.......2007-01-09
An impresive number of applications and technics are developed accross this extensive book. The language is very clear without losing theoretical rigorousness. A chapter or annex about panel data analysis will complete the book, as long as it is an introductory book and should present all basic themes (something in the book's website could be useful). Is a great book, I'm very satisfied.
Wonderful contribution to undergraduate econometrics and time series.......2005-07-24
This book is the perfect textbook to get undergraduate students motivated with the subject.
It is simple and readable, yet provides a complete treatment of the econometrics of financial series.
I would also recommend this textbook for MBA students, since it contains valuable applications to Eviews and RATS.
If you are interested in an introductory course to econometrics for economists, you will probably prefer Wooldridge's intro book. It has more information on panel data and limited dependent variables.
This one has a terrific and desirable bias towards students particularly interested in finance. The book quickly departs from econometrics towards time series, a topic much more relevant in business schools and is far better in this subject than Wooldridge's.
Great introductory and practical book.......2005-07-05
My life would have been way easier if I had read this book while in college. It has what many other books lack, and that is explanations on how to carry out the different estimation methods in commonly used software packages such as E-Views and RATS. As for its contents, it has an excellent coverage on the topics that concern those who work with financial time series. It is a good summary of the econometric techniques used for high-frequency data. The explanations are simple and clear and it has a very practical approach. I would only add to this book a CD with the time series with which the estimations were run.
This book should be read by every finance student.......2004-09-20
This is the book I would recommend for every student who wants to start using econometrics in finance. From OLS regressions to garch and Markov-switching models, this book covers a lot of key econometric materials. It's short, very clear and well-written. It is the best introductory book to financial econometrics I've read so far. The first part of the book (on the OLS model) can be read by students who have no particular background in econometrics. The second part of the book (mainly on time series models) is very convenient for final year BSc / 1st year MSc students in finance. Math is used only when it is strictly required. Focus is really placed on the intuition behind the model. There are a lot of finance papers that are discussed (related to the author's work) and a lot of detailed applications using Eviews and RATS (with a nice and short introduction to these softwares in chapter 1). The programs are available free on the editor's website while the data are NOT! (Datastream did not want the data to be downloadable free of charge...No comment) That's why I do not give 5 stars to the book. And there is nothing on intraday data.
Book Description
Computer Confluence is more than a book: it's the confluence of three media resources: an illustrated textbook, a state-of-the-art CD-ROM, and up-to-the-minute web site. Computer Confluence goes beyond computer concepts and explores the promise and problems of information technology, how it affects people and society, and the future. Since 1994, thousands of students have been introduced to computers through the authors’ unique approach.
After an illustrative introductory chapter on computer basics, the book covers such topics as: hardware and software basics, graphics, digital media, and software media, networking and telecommunication, security and risks, and the internet and world wide web.
An excellent reference resource for anyone interested in computers and computer concepts.
Book Description
This highly accessible and innovative text (and accompanying CD-ROM) uses Excel (R) workbooks powered by Visual Basic macros to teach the core concepts of econometrics without advanced mathematics. It enables students to run monte Carlo simulations in which they repeatedly sample from artificial data sets in order to understand the data generating process and sampling distribution. Coverage includes omitted variables, binary response models, basic time series, and simultaneous equations. The authors teach students how to construct their own real-world data sets drawn from the internet, which they can analyze with Excel (R) or with other econometric software.

Blows Away All Other Intro Texts.......2006-05-31
I am only half finished with this book, but since there is only one other review, I want to get my thoughts up NOW. I may add to them when I have finished.
My wife is an econ major at a small school with very few econ majors. Econometrics is not offered as a course. Although as a practical businessman with a preference for Austrian school economic theory I have a healthy scepticism about quantitative macroeconomic (especially) formulas, I have told my wife that she can not be a part of today's theoretical discussions without a basic understanding of econometrics. I promised to help her self-study this topic, and have reviewed a number of supposedly "introductory" texts (to remain nameless, but they are standards)that have lost me within 50 pages. Neither my wife nor I have calculus or matrix algebra. However, even those texts that say they do not rely on such math knowledge are still confusing. Until now.
Barreto's text is a wonder. The other review gives solid examples of why this is. Let me just say that you will be able to see econometric principles in action. The explanations are incredibly clear, and the work on the beefed up excel spreadsheets effectively demonstrates those explanations. I know this will be difficult to believe, but the text is actually fun to read. My wife and I both have college algebra, business statistics, and basic excel. That's all you need to use this book.
Every university should adopt this book as the intro econometrics text. It provides an approach to learning the topic that is accessible to any intelligent econ student. Those going on to PhD work could supplement with calculus, matrix algebra, and one of the other so-called intro texts. Barreto provides a way for normal econ students to understand econometrics, something that all econ students should be required to do. (Even though much of econometrics is nonsense, knowledge of its applications and mis-applications is still the ticket to being taken seriously in economic debate.)
I only wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. It is a stunning achievement.
Interactive Guide to UNDERSTANDING econometrics.......2006-02-16
When I was a new graduate student I ended up buying several different econometrics texts. No one text had the best explanation for each topic. The problem remained that for many topics I never did find a book which translated the formal mathematical presentation into a practical worked out example, so that I could understand the procedure and how to implement it.
This book and accompanying CD-ROM does that and much more.
Every topic includes guided Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and add-ins which illustrate the topic being addressed. The text clearly explains not only the HOW, but the WHY. The economics and the econometrics are presented with such clarity and unity; bridging the two in a way that none of the other texts do.
In Barreto and Howlands book/CD package you interact with the data and the graphs (they include a superior add-in for creating histograms), and run Monte Carlo simulations to see the behavior of the estimators in repeated sampling. These are "live" spreadsheets that invite you to experiment. For example; there is an Excel workbook which illustrates the correlation coefficient. Rather than a dry recitation of formula and proof, you can interact with the spreadsheet and see exactly how the same coefficient can apply to data having very different patterns. It is one thing to see an illustration, and quite another to actually be the one creating the diagram, simply by running the macros and changing parameters. This "hands on" approach is so vital to actually getting an understanding of the material. I have only a basic understanding of Excel, and have had no difficulties in using the workbooks.
While the limits of Excel are pointed out by the authors, it is important to note the reason for using Excel. It is widely understood and available; there is no learning curve. By using Excel there is no software barrier between the student and understanding the principles of econometric modelling. In less than 1/2 hour I took the data and example of a Probit model using Maximum Likelihood estimation from a course web site from across the country and replicated the results using the add-in provided. Most of that time was used to extract the data from a .pdf file and get it formatted properly for Excel. Once I had the data in Excel, it took less than 2 minutes to run the Probit estimation (my first time using that add-in!) By the way, the results using the authors add-in for solving Probit models with ML estimation were the same as the results from GAUSS code to do the same. The add-in had a distinct advantage though in that a choice for Probit or Logit model estimation using either Non Linear Least Squares or the Maximum Likelihood estimation was just a radio button away! This text can complement any course, regardless of the software used.
Again, the beauty of the book is that you are not just left with Greek formulas that leave you wondering how to do the computations, and you are not left with computer output leaving you to wonder how to interpret that output. The text explains the meaning so powerfully that you are not only armed with an understanding which is useful for success in your course work, but also for applying the quantitative tools in real world analysis and applications. The text is like going to see your favorite professor who is sitting there with you one on one, giving you insight which only comes from experience.
I've been through courses that use Greene, and Judge, as well as introductory texts. This text stands alone in making use of the computing power we have at our disposal today, not to produce more computer printouts, but rather to increase our understanding--providing the sound reasoning for applying that power.
I should add that even after two years of statistics and econometrics I learned quite a lot from the statistics review chapters. Don't be misled by the "Introductory" title. I had learned and executed Artificial Neural Network models in graduate courses, but still learned a lot from the section on correlation in this book. For undergrad students this book will put you on the right path. For grad students it will correct blind spots and misconceptions.
I highly recommend this book/CD package to any econometrics student and to practicing analysts that use regression analysis. The authors have created a product that I wish I had when I was in school, but am glad I found now for applying in my career.
Detailed info on contents as well as the Excel files and add-ins are available from the authors' web site which I found prior to ordering from Amazon. Once I tried the workbooks, I knew I wanted the book. It's 800 pages of solid information and inspired teaching.

The best general undergraduate treatment of operations management-4.5 stars.......2006-01-26
Knod and Schonberger have written the best general text available on production/operations management at the undergraduate level.The text has very good chapters on Capacity Planning(aggregate capacity planning),Scheduling,Design(reliability and serviceability),Quality and process control(especially pp.318-322 on mean and range charts and pp.327-330 on process capability analysis),Inventory control,Timing(waiting lines and queues),and PERT.A minor weakness is that a discussion of the use of the Beta distribution in PERT analysis is omitted from the book.Anyone who covers this book throughly will be very well prepared to take senior level undergraduate courses and graduate level courses in operations management.
Mixed - good survey and quan, weaker on soft subjects.......1999-01-06
Fairly good survey book. Having an undergrad operations background, I found this book mirrored the strengths and weaknesses of a more detailed operations curriculum. Book is best in framework and quantitative model overviews, weaker on softer subjects like staffing, project management, & holistic quality.
Highly over-rated . Full of fluff.......1997-10-22
If your MBA professor offers Schonberger as the answer to 21st Century Operations Management, seek a transfer quick. Obsessed with a touchy-feeling "quality paradigm", there is not enough meat here to frighten off the most zealous vegetarian. The chapters on "managing projects" and "facilities management" are especially shallow.

Excellent.......2007-01-11
I used this book for the Applied Econometrics course I had to take at the university and it was very useful and relatively easy to understand, especially when compared to others.
great book-really helpful for students who learn econometrics for B.A in economics.......2007-01-08
econometrics is an empirical theory about estimating ECONOMICS models and fit those models who are based on economic theory to reality,using statistical methods and sample deviations.this book gives a full chapter for a review about all u need to know in statistics in order to use it in the proofs of econometrics formulas that used in later chapters in the book:such as mean,variance,covariance,distributions and other statistical stuff. those who wrote in previous reviews that they dont understand econometrics and that the book is UNORGANIZED-i warn u that econometrics is a THEORY that explains ECONOMICS THEORY-u need to know some basic things about economic theorys such as the famous MACRO-ECONOMIC CONSUMPTION-INCOME model and its economic theory-and also u need to know basic math that economics student must know and lean in first year-THIS IS WHY THIS BOOK MOSTLY GOOD FOR ECONOMICS STUDENTS who have some knowledge about economics models and math that used in economics:the simple linear equation,difrentials etc.THE BAD THING IS THAT THIS BOOK REALLY EXPENSIVE IN AMAZON,COST 131$ WHICH IS TOO EXPENSIVE IN TERMS OF SHEKELS(ISRAELI MONEY) 550 SHEKELS!SINCE THAT I HAVE TO LOAN AN OLDER VERSION OF THIS BOOK,4TH EDITION, IN THE COLLEGE LIBRARY-i would buy this book in amazon if amazon would decrease the price to a reasonable price for a book around 20-25$
unorganized.......2003-02-21
Though this book offers many questions, which is an advantage, it does not clear concise answers to the few questions which it does answer. Furthermore this text has a very poor structure to it, material is all over the place. The only other benefit is the user friendly gretl software.
Outstanding introduction to econometrics.......2002-09-07
I can not express enough the quality of this book for the desired target audience. As the title suggests, this is a book for those looking to gain insight into the basics of econometrics. If you've taken even a little calculus, and basic statistics, you should be ok. If not, you've no business trying to tackle econometrics, so I will not let that requirement taint my 5 star rating.
If you have a desire to learn anything about econometrics, especially if you've seen some basic information about regression / OLS in a stats class before, this is the place to start. What is learned here is not only the underlying math but also the all important intuition behind the math and the stats and ultimately the econometrics itself. You don't just learn why a formula works, how it is written, and what the proof looks like. The author goes to length to ensure that you also gain a broad appreciation for the assumptions upon which the methods are based, and ultimately what happens when you violate those assumptions. This is a critical part of learning statistics and econometrics, one which is far too often neglected by students, instructors, and authors alike. A key part of any statistical exercise is the intuition behind it, and a working knowledge of how and why the methods chosen are valid. Ramanathan does an excellent job of making sure you understand these ideas every step of the way, throughtout the text. There are plentiful references to earlier sections with related concepts, constantly linking new ideas with those covered in previous sections and chapters. Appendices between chapters also delve into the related mathematics and provide additional proofs for those interested.
I believe there is no better introduction to the subject of econometrics than this work. My instructor required this text in our beginning econometrics course. He never taught directly from the book nor did he assign work from it. We were merely told to purchase it as a requirement for the class so that we would have it as a reference whether we thought we needed it or not. I found myself reading this book constantly, despite never having been required to so much as open it for the class. The book is more than worth it, even at twice the price.
Wonderful deal!.......2002-03-30
The book is really new, in good condition. The delivery is faster than expected! If I buy a book next time, I will choose this dealer again!

Not enough Micro.......2007-08-23
I bought this book to study the micro half... but there was only one test that was labeled micro, and the rest were mixed and seemed to be be mostly macroeconomics questions which was not the CLEP I was studying for so it was generally useless. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you are taking both the micro and the macro and need to study for both at the same time.
not what I expected.......2006-07-24
There are bunch of Q & As. I was hoping to find a bit of information on the topics. This does not work for me or anyone looking for a brief intro to topics and the Q&As.

NEW SECTIONS ARE REALLY USEFUL.......2001-04-13
I have done masters degree in MATHEMATICS with statistics optional and have done some management courses also. Here I am a PROFESSOR in a COLLEGE where students do B.SC. from LONDON university under EXTERNAL PROGRAM. One of the subjects I teach is "Elements of statistics". we prepared from this book,new sections were written in very simple way with technical examples and with graphs. My students last year got the DISTINCTION in this subject and this year I am also expecting DISTINCTION again from students. So I wanted to contact the auther and compliment the person. Finally as a teacher I would recommend strongly this book for the students of BSC. for "Elements of Statistics". this is a must read for the said subject.
