Synopsis
"Introductory Econometrics" uses an innovative approach to teach regression analysis to students who have a background in only introductory economics and statistics. Using basic algebra, this text focuses on learning the most important concepts in running regressions at an in-depth level, rather than providing more shallow coverage of a broad overview of topics. Each chapter begins with a summary of what students will learn by the end of the chapter, and follows with careful proofs and derivations that show step-by-step how the answers are reached. Using a continuing example of correlating education level and income, the Zax text is a careful, yet accessible and conversational introduction to regression analysis and introductory econometric techniques.

Présentation de l'éditeur
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 emphasises 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.
