Beschreibung:
The basic characteristic of Modern Linear and Nonlinear Econometrics is that it presents a unified approach of modern linear and nonlinear econometrics in a concise and intuitive way. It covers four major parts of modern econometrics: linear and nonlinear estimation and testing, time series analysis, models with categorical and limited dependent variables, and, finally, a thorough analysis of linear and nonlinear panel data modeling. Distinctive features of this handbook are:
This concise and intuitive book presents a unified approach of modern linear and nonlinear econometrics, integrating theory and practice. Every major topic has a number of examples, exercises or case studies, many involving the use of actual data that are typical for current empirical work and made available on the internet. This learning-by-doing method prepares readers to design, develop and successfully finish their own research and/or solve real-world problems.
