Basic Statistics in Business & Economics provides students majoring in management, marketing, finance, accounting, economics, and other fields of business administration with an introductory survey of descriptive and inferential statistics. Many examples and exercises that focus on business applications are used to illustrate the application of statistics, but also relate to the current world of the college student. A previous course in statistics is not necessary, and the mathematical requirement is first-year algebra. Students are given every step needed to be successful in a basic statistics course. This step-by-step approach enhances performance, accelerates preparedness, and significantly improves motivation. Understanding the concepts, seeing and doing plenty of examples and exercises, and comprehending the application of statistical methods in business and economics are the focus of this book. Today, the practice of data analytics is widely applied to big data. The practice of data analytics requires skills and knowledge in several areas. Computer skills are needed to process large volumes of information. Analytical skills are needed to evaluate, summarize, organize, and analyze the information. Critical thinking skills are needed to interpret and communicate the results of processing the information. This text supports the development of basic data analytical skills with the end of each chapter sections called Data Analytics providing the instructor and student with opportunities to apply statistical knowledge and statistical software to explore several business environments. Interpretation of the analytical results is an integral part of these exercises. A variety of statistical software is available to complement the 10th edition. Microsoft Excel includes an add-in with many statistical analyses. MegaStat is an add-in available for Microsoft Excel. Minitab and JMP are stand-alone statistical software packages available to download for either PC or Mac. In the text, Microsoft Excel, Minitab, and MegaStat are used to illustrate statistical software analyses. The text also includes references or links to Excel tutorials in Connect. These provide users with clear demonstrations using statistical software to create graphical and descriptive statistics and statistical analyses to test hypotheses. Digital resources within McGraw Hill Connect (R) help students apply what they've learned and achieve higher outcomes in the course. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need when they need it and how they need it so that class time is more engaging and effective.

Business Statistics of the United States is a comprehensive and practical collection of data from as early as 1913 that reflects the nation's economic performance. It provides over 80 years of annual, quarterly, and monthly data in industrial and demographic detail including key indicators such as: gross domestic product, personal income, spending, saving, employment, unemployment, the capital stock, and more. Business Statistics of the United States is the best place to find historical perspectives on the U.S. economy. Of equal importance to the data are the introductory highlights, extensive notes, and figures for each chapter that help users to understand the data, use them appropriately, and, if desired, seek additional information from the source agencies. Business Statistics of the United States provides a rich and deep picture of the American economy and contains approximately 3,500 time series in all. The data are predominately from federal government sources including: *Board of Governors of The Federal Reserve System *Bureau of Economic Analysis *Bureau of Labor Statistics *Census Bureau *Employment and Training Administration *Energy Information Administration *Federal Housing Finance Agency *U.S. Department of the Treasury

This user guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up, use, and maintain the statistical business register of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). It also outlines the key technical considerations that guided ADB's development of the software. This publication serves as a reference for countries looking to establish statistical business registers of their own using the software solution developed as part of this initiative. Statistical business registers are structured databases that provide information on business establishments and their activities, enabling a country's national statistical system to produce economic statistics and indicators. This helps governments design and implement economic policies that are data-driven.

This publication presents economic statistics relevant for cross-border production arrangements analysis in Hong Kong, China; Japan; Mongolia; the People's Republic of China; the Republic of Korea; and Taipei, China. It was computed from ADB's multi-regional input-output database which serves the increasing demand for structured, relevant, timely, and accurate data, especially with the onset of various economic research projects on global value chains. Supply and use tables and input-output tables in the publication address the emerging need for more systematic and comprehensive approaches in data management, economic analysis, and policy research for national economies around the world.

Intended primarily to prepare first-year graduate students for their ongoing work in econometrics, economic theory, and finance, this innovative book presents the fundamental concepts of theoretical econometrics, from measure-theoretic probability to statistics. A. Ronald Gallant covers these topics at an introductory level and develops the ideas to the point where they can be applied. He thereby provides the reader not only with a basic grasp of the key empirical tools but with sound intuition as well.

In addition to covering the basic tools of empirical work in economics and finance, Gallant devotes particular attention to motivating ideas and presenting them as the solution to practical problems. For example, he presents correlation, regression, and conditional expectation as a means of obtaining the best approximation of one random variable by some function of another. He considers linear, polynomial, and unrestricted functions, and leads the reader to the notion of conditioning on a sigma-algebra as a means for finding the unrestricted solution. The reader thus gains an understanding of the relationships among linear, polynomial, and unrestricted solutions. Proofs of results are presented when the proof itself aids understanding or when the proof technique has practical value.

A major text-treatise by one of the leading scholars in this field," An Introduction to Econometric Theory" will prove valuable not only to graduate students but also to all economists, statisticians, and finance professionals interested in the ideas and implications of theoretical econometrics.

This handbook explains how to use remote sensing technology to estimate rice crop area and production to support food security policymaking in Asia and the Pacific. A substantial portion of the world's rice is produced and consumed in Asia and the Pacific. As much of the region's population depends on rice farming, timely and good quality agricultural estimates and forecasts are essential for effective policy formulation. Recent advances in remote sensing offer a viable alternative to traditional methods of compiling agricultural statistics. This publication outlines methods and tools developed for generating statistics on paddy area and production using remote sensing and GIS techniques. It aims to help national statistical agencies pilot and adopt satellite-based techniques. The handbook complements a massive open online course on crop area estimation developed by ADB.

This guide to small area estimation aims to help users compile more reliable granular or disaggregated data in cost-effective ways. It explains small area estimation techniques with examples of how the easily accessible R analytical platform can be used to implement them, particularly to estimate indicators on poverty, employment, and health outcomes. The guide is intended for staff of national statistics offices and for other development practitioners. It aims to help them to develop and implement targeted socioeconomic policies to ensure that the vulnerable segments of societies are not left behind, and to monitor progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals.

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.

Wer berufsmaBig sich mit den Problemen der SozialOkonomie be faBt, der muB sich bewuBt sein, daB es hierbei nicht um den einzelnen Menschen, sondern um die Wirtschaft groBer Gesellschaftsgebilde, ins besondere der Volkswirtschaft, geht; der weiB aber auch, daB, indem er von der V olkswirtschaft spricht, er den einzelnen Menschen, aber als Glied des Ganzen, erfaBt und das Wohl und Wehe dieser Einzelnen im Gedeihen der Gesamtwirtschaft beschlossen liegt. Wer wissenschaftlich arbeitet, weiB, daB allein die Sache an sich ihn etwas angeht und weder das Interesse Einzelner noch das einzelner Wirtschaftsgruppen. Gerade in der nationalOkonomischen Forschung taucht immer wieder die Gefahr auf, daB das Objekt nicht Gegen stand einer Betrachtung von hoherer Warte aus ist, sondern im Lichte dieses oder jenes Interessenstandpunktes gesehen wird. Darunter leidet nicht nur diewissenschaftlicheForschung selbst-es schwindet der Glaube an die Ehrlichkeit und Wahrheitsliebe des Forschers - es leidet ebenso die Entwicklung der menschlichen Wirtschaft, soweit sie auf Ergebnisse der objektiven Forschung angewiesen ist. Die Verfolgung eines Einzel interesses wird nur dann auf lange Sicht erfolgreich sein, wenn sie kon form geht mit derjenigen des Gesellschaftsinteresses und deshalb steht die sozialokonomische, von einzelnen Menschen abstrahierende Forschung an erster Stelle, und nur unter Beachtung ihrer Ergebnisse konnen Mog lichkeiten der wirtschaftlichen Forderung von Einzelnen oder Gruppen des Ganzen wissenschaftlich untersucht werden."
