Analysis of Economic Data has, over three editions, become firmly established as a successful textbook for students studying data analysis whose primary interest is not in econometrics, statistics or mathematics. It introduces students to basic econometric techniques and shows the reader how to apply these techniques in the context of real-world empirical problems. The book adopts a largely non-mathematical approach relying on verbal and graphical inuition and covers most of the tools used in modern econometrics research. It contains extensive use of real data examples and involves readers in hands-on computer work.

Bayesian Econometrics introduces the reader to the use of Bayesian methods in the field of econometrics at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level. The book is self-contained and does not require previous training in econometrics. The focus is on models used by applied economists and the computational techniques necessary to implement Bayesian methods when doing empirical work. It includes numerous numerical examples and topics covered in the book include:

• the regression model (and variants applicable for use with panel data
• time series models
• models for qualitative or censored data
• nonparametric methods and Bayesian model averaging.

A website containing computer programs and data sets to help the student develop the computational skills of modern Bayesian econometrics can be found at: www.wiley.co.uk/koopbayesian

Introduction to Econometrics has been written as a core textbook for a first course in econometrics taken by undergraduate or graduate students. It is intended for students taking a single course in econometrics with a view towards doing practical data work. It will also be highly useful for students interested in understanding the basics of econometric theory with a view towards future study of advanced econometrics. To achieve this end, it has a practical emphasis, showing how a wide variety of models can be used with the types of data sets commonly used by economists. However, it also has enough discussion of the underlying econometric theory to give the student a knowledge of the statistical tools used in advanced econometrics courses.

Key Features:
* A non-technical summary of the basic tools of econometrics is given in chapters 1 and 2, which allows the reader to quickly start empirical work.
* The foundation offered in the first two chapters makes the theoretical econometric material, which begins in chapter 3, more accessible.
* Provides a good balance between econometric theory and empirical applications.
* Discusses a wide range of models used by applied economists including many variants of the regression model (with extensions for panel data), time series models (including a discussion of unit roots and cointegration) and qualitative choice models (probit and logit).

An extensive collection of web-based supplementary materials is provided for this title, including: data sets, problem sheets with worked through answers, empirical projects, sample exercises with answers, and slides for lecturers.

"Analysis of Financial Data" teaches the basic methods and techniques of data analysis to finance students, by showing them how to apply such techniques in the context of real world empirical problems. Adopting a largely non mathematical approach, "Analysis of Financial Data" relies more on verbal intuition and graphical methods for understanding. This title includes key features such as: coverage of many of the major tools used by the financial economist e.g. correlation, regression, time series analysis and methods for analyzing financial volatility; extensive use of real data examples, which involves readers in hands on computer work; and, mathematical techniques at a level suited to MBA students and undergraduates taking a first course in the topic. Supplementary material for readers and lecturers are provided on an accompanying website.
