"In Econometrics the author has provided a text that bridges the gap between classical econometrics (with an emphasis on linear methods such as OLS, GLS and instrumental variables) and some of the key research areas of the last few years, including sampling problems, nonparametric methods and panel data analysis. Designed for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of the subject, Econometrics provides rigorous, yet accessible, coverage of the subject."--Jacket.
