Principles of Econometrics, Fifth Edition, is an introductory book for undergraduate students in economics and finance, as well as first-year graduate students in a variety of fields that include economics, finance, accounting, marketing, public policy, sociology, law, and political science. Students will gain a working knowledge of basic econometrics so they can apply modeling, estimation, inference, and forecasting techniques when working with real-world economic problems. Readers will also gain an understanding of econometrics that allows them to critically evaluate the results of others’ economic research and modeling, and that will serve as a foundation for further study of the field. This new edition of the highly-regarded econometrics text includes major revisions that both reorganize the content and present students with plentiful opportunities to practice what they have read in the form of chapter-end exercises. 

A supplement such as Using SAS for Econometrics is quite essential for use in a classroom environment, for those attempting to learn SAS, and for quick and useful reference. The SAS documentation comes in many volumes, and several are thousands of pages long. This makes for a very difficult challenge when getting started with SAS. This volume spans several levels of econometrics. It is suitable for undergraduate students who will use "canned" SAS statistical procedures, and for graduate students who will use advanced procedures as well as direct programming in SAS's matrix language, discussed in chapter appendices. Material within the chapters is accessible to undergraduate and/or Masters students, with appendices to chapters devoted to more advanced materials and matrix programming.
