Introduction to Econometrics, 4th Edition New York: Oxford University Press, 2011. Also: http://www.oup.com/uk/orc/bin/9780199280964/dougherty_chap14.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Oxford University Press Keyword(s): NLS Description; Teaching Datasets/Teaching with the NLS Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The data set is a sub-set of a major US data-base, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79). NLSY79 is a panel survey in which a nationally-representative sample of young males and females aged 14 to 21 in 1979 have been re-interviewed since 1979. Until 1994 the interviews took place annually and now they are being conducted at two-yearly intervals. The core sample originally consisted of 3,003 males and 3,108 females. In addition there are special supplementary samples (some now discontinued) of ethnic minorities, those in poverty and those serving in the armed forces. Extensive background information was obtained in the base-year survey in 1979 and since then information has been updated each year on education, training, employment, marital status, fertility, health, child care and assets and income. In addition special sections have been added from time to time on other topics – for example, drug use. The surveys have been extremely detailed and the quality of the execution of the survey is very high. As a consequence NLSY79 is regarded as one of the most important data bases available to social scientists working with U.S. data. The following is a publisher blurb: Description: Retaining the student-friendly approach of previous editions, Introduction to Econometrics, Fourth Edition, uses clear and simple mathematics notation and step-by step explanations of mathematical proofs to help students thoroughly grasp the subject. Extensive practical exercises throughout--including fifty exercises on the same dataset--build students' confidence and provide them with hands-on practice in applying techniques. NEW TO THE FOURTH EDITION: * An expanded review section at the beginning of the book offers a more comprehensive guide to all of the statistical concepts needed to study econometrics * Additional exercises provide students with even more opportunities to put theory into practice * More Monte C arlo simulations help students use visualization to understand the math * New final sections at the end of each chapter contain summaries and non-technical introductions to more advanced topics |
