Econometric Theory and Methods By Russell Davidson (Professor of Economics, Professor of Economics, McGill University)

Summary

Suitable for graduate-level econometrics, this comprehensive introductory text includes the major topic areas of the subject, explained through concepts rather than relying on complex algebra. It also includes discussion of bootstrap inference in order to aid students in understanding inference based on exact and asymptotic distributions.

Econometric Theory and Methods Summary

Econometric Theory and Methods by Russell Davidson (Professor of Economics, Professor of Economics, McGill University)

This text provides a unified treatment of modern econometric theory and practical econometric methods. The geometrical approach to least squares is emphasized, as is the method of moments, which is used to motivate a wide variety of estimators and tests. Simulation methods, including the bootstrap, are introduced early and used extensively. The book deals with a large number of modern topics. In addition to bootstrap and Monte Carlo tests, these include sandwich covariance matrix estimators, artificial regressions, estimating functions and the generalized method of moments, indirect inference, and kernel estimation. Every chapter incorporates numerous exercises, some theoretical, some empirical, and many involving simulation. Econometric Theory and Methods is designed for beginning graduate courses. The book is suitable for both one- and two-term courses at the Masters or Ph.D. level. It can also be used in a final-year undergraduate course for students with sufficient backgrounds in mathematics and statistics.

Econometric Theory and Methods Reviews

This is the best textbook of econometric theory to have emerged in a long while; and it deserves to find a place on the bookshelf of every instructor. It is bound to find favour with the students. Stephen Pollock, Queen Mary College, University of London
