Analysis of Economic Data
teaches methods of data analysis to students whose primary interest is not in
econometrics, statistics or mathematics. It shows students how to apply econometric
techniques in the context of real-world empirical problems. Key features include:
• Adopts a largely
non-mathematical approach relying on verbal and graphical intuition
• Covers most of the tools
and models used in modem econometrics research e.g. correlation, regression and extensions
for time-series methods
• Contains extensive use of
real data examples and involves readers in hands-on computer work
• A disk is packaged with
the book containing all data sets included in the text
