Baltagi B.H. A Companion to Theoretical Econometrics (Blackwell Companions to Contemporary Economics)

Год издания: 2006
This is the first companion in econometrics. It covers 32 chapters written by international experts in the field. The emphasis of this companion is on keeping things simple so as to give students of econometrics a guide through the maze of important topics in econometrics. These chapters are helpful for readers and users of econometrics who are not looking for exhaustive surveys on the subject.
Instead, these chapters give the reader some of the basics and point to further readings on the subject. The topics covered vary from basic chapters on serial correlation and heteroskedasticity, which are found in standard econometrics texts, to specialized topics that are covered by econometric society monographs and advanced books on the subject like count data, panel data, and spatial correlation.
The authors have done their best to keep things simple. Space and time limitations prevented the inclusion of other important topics, problems and exercises, empirical applications, and exhaustive references. However, we believe that this is a good start and that the 32 chapters contain an important selection of topics in this young but fast growing field.
