Central to the book are practical questions in various economic disciplines, which can be answered using econometric methods and models. The book focuses on a limited number of the essential, most widely used methods, before going on to review the basics of econometrics. The book ends with a number of case studies drawn from recent empirical work to provide an intuitive illustration of what econometricians do when faced with practical questions. Throughout the book Franses emphasises the importance of specification, evaluation and implementation of models appropriate to the data. Assuming basic familiarity only with matrix algebra and calculus the book is designed to appeal as either a short stand-alone introduction for students embarking on an empirical research project or as a supplement to any standard introductory textbook. 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aEconometrics$vCase studies 615 0$aEconometrics. 615 0$aEconometrics 676 $a330/.01/5195 700 $aFranses$b Philip Hans$f1963-$0252841 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450390503321 996 $aA concise introduction to econometrics$91899656 997 $aUNINA
