Forthcoming Series

Econometric ExercisesSeries Editors: Karim AbadirUniversity of YorkJan MagnusTilberg University, The NetherlandsPeter C. B. PhillipsYale University

The volumes in Econometric Exercises areintended to be much more than acollection of solved exercises. Each volumewill have a coherent and well-organizedsequence of exercises in a specific field orsub-field of econometrics. Solved exerciseswill be assembled together in a structuredand logical pedagogical framework thatseeks to develop the subject matter of thefield from its foundations up.

Each chapter of a volume begins with ashort technical introduction thatemphasizes the main ideas and overviewsthe most relevant theorems and results. Theintroductions are followed by a sequentialdevelopment of the material by solvedexamples and applications, and computerexercises where they are appropriate. Each

volume is self-contained, has a full index,and includes cross-reference to othervolumes in the series. We aim for a balanceof about 15-20% theory and 80-85%exercises. The volumes will be brief andeconomical, but a certain amount ofrepetition is encouraged, where it isconsidered helpful in improving thereadability of the volumes, and in wideningtheir potential audience.

The volumes are intended forundergraduate students of econometricswith an introductory knowledge ofstatistics, for first and second year graduatestudents of econometrics, and for studentsand instructors from neighboringdisciplines (like statistics, political science,psychology and communication) withinterests in econometric methods. Thevolumes increase in difficulty as the topicsbecome more specialized.
