An Introduction to Modern Econometrics Using Stata

Great book, unfortunately it is several versions of Stata out of date. So you spend a lot of time reading the Stata manual trying to figure out the modern version of the command, program, or option described in the book.

Definitely an important tool for economist or anyone utilizing data analysis tools for their research. I would recommend this book to all interested in data research.

Very clear wording. Excellent examples. There are few better resources available to use to learn how to use Stata effective. Highly recommended.

Useful book it helps me in class and understanding for the material even I can't understand on class. Highly recommend.

Looks great

Great

This book contains all of the teaching errors that one finds in the worst of technical books. First, the subject index contains few subjects, considering how many are addressed in the book itself. Second, when subjects are addressed, it is possible to find a few pages to which the reader is directed, whereas the same term is actually used on scores of pages. A second problem is the writer's predisposition to use terms before he defines them. In fact, sometimes the writer uses terms that he never ever explains. Also, he applies details that he never explains on some command lines. Moreover, the writer constantly refers to commands that are explained in other books, but that he does not trouble to explain in his own book. In so many words, this guy wants to cover more in his book than he can, so he scrimps on his explanations and his wording. There's a solution to this problem. Cover less, but explain it all more fully. I am surprised that the other readers who rated this book did not see these problems. There must be hundreds of examples of all of this.

This book gives a good overview of some of the commands one would need to do regression analysis with STATA. I needed something to give me a quick intro to STATA and this book has helped me a lot. Howver, just like MS Excel, STATA has tons of commands that I probably will never touch!
