Analysis of Economics Data: An Introduction to Econometrics

The book covers analysis of a single series, bivariate regression, multiple regression, and further topics in regression.

The author's website provides all datasets, statistical programs for each chapter (in Stata, in R, and in Gretl), and slides for each chapter. Read more
