Econometric Analysis: An Applied Approach to Business and Economics

For the last four decades, the uses of econometric tools and techniques, irrespective of discipline, have been increasing rapidly for solving problems, appropriate decision-making and policy formulation. Generally, it is accepted that the study of modern business and economics is incomplete without a proper knowledge of econometric tools and techniques. In view of the increasing complexity and variety of problems in business and economics, students and researchers may not be able to cope and hence may remain unfamiliar with many aspects of business and economic problems. Thus, this book was written to explore basic and advanced studies of econometrics for undergraduate and graduate students of business and economics, as well as for researchers already engaged in these fields who require an introduction to econometric methods and their application for solving of real-life problems. The book offers a balanced presentation of fundamental and advanced levels of econometric concepts and methods, along with practical examples of their effective application in real-life problems.
