Praised for its bold, innovative approach to improving the way econometrics is learned, this revolutionary, best-selling text covers single-equation linear regression analysis in an intuitive, accessible way. The easy-to-understand format emphasizes real-world examples and example-based exercises and focuses on learning how to use econometrics, not on matrix algebra or calculus proofs. Clear, accessible writing and numerous applications provide students with a solid understanding of applied econometrics.
Now widely imitated, Using Econometrics: A Practical Guide, continues to reap accolades from professors who are delighted that their students are able to understand and use econometrics from the first chapter on. The text is accessible to beginning econometric students as well as experienced practitioners.

Reviewer Praise for Using Econometrics: A Practical Guide, Fourth Edition
"This book is the best I've seen...my students appreciate being treated respectfully and as potential practitioners themselves."
-Helen Roberts, University of Illinois at Chicago Circle
"The fact that [the] approach is 'intuition first, mechanics second' is a complete breath of fresh air and is the exact way students should be introduced to econometrics...the author does not talk down to students but gently pulls them up to the right level of thought...it far outdoes every other introductory text I've found."
-Anne Alexander, University of Wyoming
"Studenmund's book is excellent...Too often in econometrics courses what is learned in the classroom is not nearly as valuable as what is learned through writing a project. This book does an amazing job in bridging this gap."
-Marc Tomljanovich, Union College
"Other textbooks are neither as applied at the Econometrics I level nor do they manage to explain complicated mathematical material in such an accessible way as Studenmund does."
-Manfred Keil, Claremont McKenna College
