Mediocre at Best,
By RAJ in Etown (Edmonton) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Guide to Modern Econometrics (Paperback)
This book attempts to be something in between the Wooldridge Book and Greene. It starts with matrix notation right from the start, which necessary for most advanced econometrics theory, but it opts to bypass most of the proofs needed to understand what is actually going on. It seems to give the answers (formulas) without explaining why they are correct in anywhere near enough detail.This might be a good book if a framework is all you need, but for someone who needs more you are likely better off to buy Greene. Combined this and Greene make a good set, but I like the Kennedy book better than this also.

must have it,

This review is from: A Guide to Modern Econometrics (Paperback)
One of the very few econometric books that are possible to read for non-mathematicians. Recommend to everyone interested in econometrics.

Nice balance between proofs and intuition.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Guide to Modern Econometrics (Paperback)
The strength of this book lies in the nice balance between mathematics and intuition. Although Wooldridge is easier to understand and better in the intuition department, he doesn't prepare you as well as Verbeek for what is yet to come: books like Econometric Analysis by Greene or Econometric Society Monographs. Verbeek uses much of the language found in scientific articles and more advanced works, without making the explanations unnecesary difficult. If your goal is, however, not to go much deeper than introductory econometrics, then do yourself a favour and buy Introductory Econometrics by Wooldridge.
