Recenzje

'This impressive new addition to the Econometric Exercises series will be a wonderful resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students. The clarity with which all concepts and techniques are presented and linked, is marvellous. The use of concise introductory material to lay the foundations of each chapter, followed by an extensive set of solved exercises, also works seamlessly. I will recommend it highly to all!'
