SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This text aims to introduce students progressively to various aspects of qualitative models and assumes a knowledge of basic principles of statistics and econometrics. Inferring qualitative characteristics of data on socioeconomic class, education, employment status, and the like, given their discrete nature, requires an entirely different set of tools from those applied to purely quantitative data. Written in accessible language and offering cogent examples, the text offers students valuable means to gauge real-world economic phenomena."--Jacket.
