I have been using Dougherty's "Introduction to Econometrics" in my Econometrics class for several years. The previous versions were incomplete, to my view, as I had to disclose many mathematical details behind intuitive statements. The fourth edition fills in many of those blanks, while keeping the intuition that is so important for first-time readers. The data sets, PowerPoint presentations and study guide provided by the author greatly enhance the teaching process. However, because of the sheer volume of the book, I would not say it is an easy reading.
If you want to understand econometric in a short time, read this easy to understand book. It explains the fundamentals well with plenty of examples. The layout helps readers understand its content fast. It also covers enough scope for a one semester course.
I do economic research and occasionally have to engage in econometric modeling. I bought this text because a professor I know uses it in his graduate statistics and econometrics classes. The text begins at the basic level of developing an economic study, determining the statistical methods to apply, and then the econometric methods to be used. It is rather unique in its range of coverage. However, it packs in too much information in too little a package, thus providing more of an overview than an in-depth coverage. To gain anything from this text, one needs to be in an econometrics class with an instructor to fill in the details. I think the introductory text by Kennedy is superior to this one.
I was looking for an econometric introduction textbook for my son who is an engineering major. My son just finished his freshman year and his math background includes: AP statistics, Calculus BC, multi-variable calculus, linear algebra and ordinary differential equation. Although he had complained about statistics being hard to grasp, he is going through this book and doing most of the exercises with minimum help from me.In contrast, I had a hard time with, An introduction to Classical Econometric Theory; by Paul A Ruud, as my first econometric reading. I think this book not only makes econometrics understandable and it also presents many practical techniques for situations that we often encounter.
The book (4th edition) covers a large amount of introductory econometrics, it's written clearly and has several examples. Surely serves the purpose of a good undergrad econometric textbook but lacks depth and falls short of advanced methods.
