Discover how empirical researchers today actually consider and apply econometric methods with the practical approach in Wooldridge's INTRODUCTORY ECONOMETRICS: A MODERN APPROACH, 6E. Unlike traditional texts, this book uniquely demonstrates how econometrics has moved beyond a set of abstract tools to become genuinely useful for answering questions in business, policy evaluation, and forecasting.

INTRODUCTORY ECONOMETRICS is organized around the type of data being analyzed with a systematic approach that only introduces assumptions as they are needed. This makes the material easier to understand and, ultimately, leads to better econometric practices. Packed with relevant applications, the text incorporates more than 100 intriguing data sets, available in six formats. Updates introduce the latest emerging developments in the field.

DATA SETS IN SIX DIFFERENT FORMATS OFFER FLEXIBILITY IN INTRODUCING STUDENTS TO INFORMATION FOR COMPLETING ASSIGNMENTS. With more than 100 data sets in six different formats, including R, Stata®, Minitab®, Microsoft® Excel, Text and EViews, you have the flexibility and instant access you need in the format you prefer to use while teaching. For your convenience, all data sets are available on the book's companion website. NEW DATA SETS PROVIDE ENGAGING EMPIRICAL EXAMPLES. New data sets include county-level data on murder rates and capital punishment and information on student performance and attending a Catholic high school. These data sets can address timely policy questions in crime and education. Another new data set includes information on presidential approval ratings and economic variables, including gasoline prices. Yet another new data set on student performance and family structure allows readers to test whether students from two-parent households perform better in school. UPDATED DATA SET HANDBOOK MAKES USE OF DATA SETS SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT. This unique handbook, created by the book's author, lists all data sets from the latest edition of the text for quick reference. Each data set entry indicates the original source, when possible; lists where it appears in the text; and when applicable, guides you in using the data set to generate new homework exercises, exam problems, or term projects. The author also provides suggestions on improving the data sets in this detailed resource, which is available on the book's companion website. REVISED INSTRUCTOR'S MANUAL WITH SOLUTIONS SAVES TIME IN PREPARATION AND GRADING. The Instructor's Manual with Solutions contains answers to all exercises with teaching tips on presenting the material in each chapter. The Instructor's Manual also contains sources for each of the data files with suggestions for using the data to develop problem sets, exams, and term papers. The Instructor's Manual is available for convenient download on the password-protected section of the book's companion website. COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE ENSURES UNDERSTANDING IN CRITICAL AREAS OF ECONOMETRICS. This edition continues to offer trusted, comprehensive coverage with expanded discussions of prediction after transformation, missing data, unbalanced panel data sets, and weak instruments. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS PREPARE STUDENTS TO USE ECONOMETRICS TO RESOLVE CHALLENGES IN BUSINESS TODAY. This unique, comprehensive text applies econometrics to actual business problems, demonstrating how each method answers a particular issue facing researchers who are analyzing non-experimental data.
