Features: Econometrics is one of the core courses for economics majors designated by the State Education Commission. The book consists of 8 chapters, divided into two parts. The first part (Basic Part) contains 4 chapters, covering the fundamentals and introductory aspects of econometrics. It primarily includes an overview of econometrics, the simple linear equation model, the multiple linear equation model, and the secondary tests of econometrics. This section avoids complex matrix methods in its explanations and consistently employs the convenient summation method. Each chapter is followed by ample post-reading questions and exercises. The second part (Advanced Part) also has 4 chapters, focusing on the deeper and more advanced aspects of econometrics. It covers matrix operations in econometrics, special techniques in econometrics, other forms of single-equation models, and simultaneous equation models. To reinforce memory and deepen understanding, each chapter is also followed by a small number of necessary review questions and exercises. Additionally, the Basic Part includes a comprehensive review section. The book has three distinctive features: First, its content is concise and highly applicable; second, the arrangement of content progresses from simple to complex, making it easy to understand; third, the writing style and format follow memory patterns, facilitating memorization and mastery. This book is suitable for undergraduate economics and management majors in universities and master's students with no prior background. It can also serve as a reference for all individuals engaged in teaching and researching econometrics, as well as a textbook for relevant professional seminars or training courses.
