Essentials of Econometrics

This updated Fifth Edition of Damodar N. Gujarati's classic text provides a user-friendly overview of the basics of econometric theory from ordinal logistic regression to time series. Acclaimed for its accessibility, brevity, and logical organization, the book helps beginning students understand econometric techniques through extensive examples (many new to this edition), careful explanations, and a wide array of chapter-ending questions and problems. Major developments in the field are covered in an intuitive and informative way without resorting to matrix algebra, calculus, or statistics beyond the introductory level.

A companion website for the book includes resources for both instructors and students. Further details are on the Resources tab above.
