Editorial Review:
Principles of Econometrics clearly shows why econometrics is necessary and provides you with the ability to utilize basic econometric tools. You'll learn how to apply these tools to estimation, inference, and forecasting in the context of real world economic problems. In order to make concepts more accessible, the authors offer lucid descriptions of techniques as well as appropriate applications to today's situations. Along the way, you'll find introductions to simple economic models and questions to enhance critical thinking.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very good for learning
This book is a shortened version of "Learning and Practising Econometrics (1993)", which itself is a shortened version of "The Theory and Practice of Econometrics (1982)".
Hill's "Undergraduate Econometrics" instills understanding by slowly going through derivations and principles, while at the same time motivating econometric analysis by referring to economic situations where it can be used. Much better than Gujarati (which tends to be a "cookery book" ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent intuition BUT A POOR BRIDGE TO THE DREADFUL GREENE
This book is the best book to use for the very first course in econometrics. It takes you by the hand to teach you all you need in terms of the basics.
I only give it 4 stars for two reasons. First, while this book is non-mathematical (and I agree with that) it should have nonetheless appendices that make use of matrices and differential calculus.
Second, this book is extremely expensive.
This book can easily earn 5 stars if in the next edition it contains appendices that will create ... Read More
Rating: - carter makes me not-so-afraid of metrics...
this is one of those econometrics (i'll call it "metrics" from now on to save on typing) books which you know has to cover alot of the slow, boring stuff which lecturers expect students to know by the time they take metrics options and hated by undergraduates. having said that, this book does it quite well. one thing i hate in metrics texts is dense mathematical proofs. especially proofs which assume the reader knows other proofs intimately. this book nicely avoids that, dropping in an adequate ...

Rating: - A Nice Beginner's Textbook
This book begins with simple concepts and gradually introduces more complex methods at a pace that is very comfortable for self-study. It also can be used in a one-quarter course for undergraduates who have had basic courses in calculus and linear algebra. However, it doesn't give all proofs for the statistical theorems in the text.
