Summary: Intuitive Econometrics, reading this textbooks in econometrics finally make sense to students.
Comment: This book must be mandatory before and during any econometrics class. In intuitive terms and examples, with minimal notation and math, manages to deliver a working knowledge, a basic understanding that can supplement and aid in the use of the usual undergraduate and graduate econometrics books like Green and others.
What is exactly opposite of these other books is that you can really enjoy reading this book while drinking your coffee, or lying on the sand enjoying the beach. I recommend this book in my syllabus to all my students in all graduate and undergraduate courses I teach.

Summary: best together with Greene's <>
Comment: This is a great book. But buy it for the right reason. All by itself, not as useful as a lot of the reviews suggests.
This has to be used together with Greene's <>. It suppliment a lot of the formulae with ideas and reasons. But it is light on formula by itself, and you can not use it as a reference. This is a explain book, tells you why we should do it this way, what to caution/watch for, what is the logic behind that.
So buy it with greene's book. Learn the math in greene's book, keep greene's book on the shelf as regular reference book. But read this book to understand ideas, and sort out complexicities.
Overall, still a great buy.

Summary: Great guide to actually using econometrics
Comment: This is a great econometrics book. I wish that I had found this book earlier in my graduate career, and now I find myself going to it all the time. It covers all the important concepts and is very clearly written. The best thing about the book is that it teaches how to use econometrics not just what it is. It makes that very important jump of teaching students how to apply these tools properly. I cannot recommend this book enough!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book for intuition
Comment: I highly recommend this book as a source of intuition for econometrics. As a Ph.D. student working on my own research I find this book very helpful when I want a quick and easy explanation. This book is also good for clarifying some basic concepts that never got adequate explanations in my econometrics courses. I only wish that this book had a little more coverage on limited dependent variable models.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent text
Comment: Not many scientists can write but Peter Kennedy is NOT one of them. He presents the mathematical and statistical information in clear, concise language. A wonderful AND informative read!!

A Guide to Econometrics has established itself as a preferred text for teachers and students throughout the world. It provides an overview of the subject and an intuitive feel for its concepts and techniques without the notation and technical detail that characterize most econometrics textbooks.
The fifth edition has two major additions, a chapter on panel data and an innovative chapter on applied econometrics. Existing chapters have been revised and updated extensively, particularly the specification chapter (to coordinate with the applied econometrics chapter), the qualitative dependent variables chapter (to better explain the difference between multinomial and conditional logit), the limited dependent variables chapter (to provide a better interpretation of Tobit estimation), and the time series chapter (to incorporate the vector autoregression discussion from the simultaneous equations chapter and to explain more fully estimation of vector error correction models). Several new exercises have been added, some of which form new sections on bootstrapping and on applied econometrics.
This edition is for sale in all of the Americas, the West Indies, and U.S. dependencies only.
