Summary

"A. H. Studenmund's practical introduction to econometrics combines single-equation linear regression analysis with real-world examples and exercises. Using Econometrics: A Practical Guide provides a thorough introduction to econometrics that avoids complex matrix algebra and calculus, making it the ideal text for the beginning econometrics student, the regression user looking for a refresher or the experienced practitioner seeking a convenient reference."--BOOK JACKET.
