This is a thorough revision of the best selling undergraduate Econometrics text.Accessible, complete, and student oriented, Basic Econometrics is appropriate for first courses in Econometrics at all four year colleges and universities. In addition to a first rate text, students have access to the SHAZY student version of SHAZAM, an inexpensive version of a widely used econometrics package, as well as data sets (free on adoption to instructors) for problem and example material in the text.
