"Introductory Econometrics: Intuition, Proof, and Practice"
attempts to distill econometrics into a form that preserves its
essence, but that is acceptable--and even appealing--to the
student's intellectual palate. This book insists on rigor when it
is essential, but it emphasizes intuition and seizes upon
entertainment wherever possible.
"Introductory Econometrics" is motivated by three beliefs. First,
students are, perhaps despite themselves, interested in questions
that only econometrics can answer. Second, through these answers,
they can come to understand, appreciate, and even enjoy the
enterprise of econometrics. Third, this text, which presents select
innovations in presentation and practice, can provoke readers'
interest and encourage the responsible and insightful application
of econometric techniques.
In particular, author Jeffrey S. Zax gives readers many
opportunities to practice proofs--which are challenging, but which
he has found to improve student comprehension. Learning from proofs
gives readers an organic understanding of the message behind the
numbers, a message that will benefit them as they come across
statistics in their daily lives.
An ideal core text for foundational econometrics courses, this book
is appropriate for any student with a solid understanding of basic
algebra--and a willingness to use that tool to investigate
complicated issues.
