APPLIED STATISTICS FOR ECONOMISTS LEWIS M. Księgarnia

This book is an undergraduate text that introduces students to commonly used statistical methods in economics.

Using examples based on contemporary economic issues and readily available data, it not only explains the mechanics of the various methods, but also guides students to connect statistical results to detailed economic interpretations. Because the goal is for students to be able to apply the statistical methods presented, online sources for economic data and directions for performing each task in Excel are also included.

Margaret Lewis is Professor of Economics at the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University, Minnesota, USA..
