Editorial Review | The exceptional success of this work is due to its clarity and economy of expression and the accessibility of the subject matter to a broad range of scholars. Now in its sixth edition, this guide brings practitioners and researchers up to date on the popular techniques in estimation. It holds a unique position among econometric texts. Highly recommended.
