Mastering ‘Metrics explains and illustrates the econometric methods that economists use to untangle cause and effect in human affairs.
Through accessible discussion and with a dose of kung fu-themed humor, Josh (Master Joshway) and Steve (Master Stevefu) presents the essential tools of econometric research and demonstrates why econometrics is exciting, fun, and useful.
