This book has two objectives. The first is to introduce students to
applied econometrics,
including basic techniques in regression analysis and some of the rich variety
of models that are used when the linear model proves inadequate or inappropriate.
The second is to present students with sufficient theoretical background that they will
recognize new variants of the models leaed about here as merely natural extensions
that fit within a common body of principles.
