A Guide to Modern Econometrics, 4th Edition


This highly successful text serves as a guide to alternative techniques in econometrics with an emphasis on the practical application of these approaches.

The 4th Edition features:

  • Coverage of a wide range of topics, including time series analysis, cointegration, limited dependent variables, panel data analysis and the generalized method of moments.
  • Intuitive presentation and discussion, with a focus on implementation and practical relevance.
  • A large number of empirical illustrations taken from a wide variety of fields, including international economics, finance, labour economics and macroeconomics.
  • Increased focus on robust inference and small sample properties.
  • End-of-chapter exercises, both theoretical and empirical, reviewing key concepts.
  • Updated and expanded coverage, on various topics such as missing data, outliers, forecast evaluation, the estimation of treatment effects and panel unit root tests.
  • Supplementary material, including PowerPoint slides for lecturers, data sets of the empirical illustrations and exercises, and solutions to selected exercises in each chapter, available at
