Econometric Analysis, 7th Edition

Econometric Analysis  serves as a bridge between an introduction to the field of econometrics and the professional literature for  social scientists and other professionals in the field of social sciences, focusing on applied econometrics and theoretical background. This book provides a broad survey of the field of econometrics that allows the reader to move from here to practice in one or more specialized areas. At the same time, the reader will gain an appreciation of the common foundation of all the fields presented and use the tools they employ.
