This second edition aims to offer a complete treatment of the analysis of two kinds of data used in contemporary econometric research: cross section data and panel data, covering linear and non-linear models. It focuses on explaining when particular econometric methods can be applied. Wooldridge does not tell readers what does work, but why certain "obvious" procedures do not. Theoretical and computer exercises aim to allow the reader to discover new insights.

Author: John M. Gowdy
Edition: First
Publisher: Stanford University Press

Gowdy's goals are to create an understanding of the core model of economics (the Walrasian general equilibrium theory) and to present contemporary extensions and emerging alternatives. The book presents the three aspects of Walrasian theory, and then draws on the work of economists to show the system's inconsistencies as well as presenting the challenges to its basic assumptions that have been posed by findings in behavioural economics and evolutionary game theory.
Accounting for Value
Author: Stephen Penman
Edition: First
Publisher: Columbia University Press
Pages: 264
Price: £31.00
ISBN 9780231151184
Penman aims to teach investors and analysts how to handle accounting in evaluating equity investments, and emphasises that valuation and accounting is essentially the same thing, as valuation is a matter of accounting for value. Disregarding the tools of modern finance, he returns to the principles that have long guided fundamental investing: for example, price is what you pay but value is what you get, and the risk in investing is the risk of paying too much.

It seeks to demonstrate how students can combine existing theories and common sense to form a foundation for adequate policy responses.
