The aspects of this text which we believe are novel, at least in
degree, include: an effort to motivate different sections with
practical examples and an empirical orientation; an effort to
intersperse several easily motivated examples throughout the book
and to maintain some continuity in these examples; and the
extensive use of Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate particular
aspects of the problems and estimators being considered. In terms
of material being presented, the unique aspects include the first
chapter which attempts to address the use of empirical methods in
the social sciences, the seventh chapter which considers models
with discrete dependent variables and unobserved variables. Clearly
these last two topics in particular are quite advanced--more
advanced than material that is currently available on the subject.
These last two topics are also currently experiencing rapid
development and are not adequately described in most other texts.
