Intuitive Econometrics, reading this textbooks in econometrics finally make sense to students., 2008-08-18
This book must be mandatory before and during any econometrics class. In intuitive terms and examples, with minimal notation and math, manages to deliver a working knowledge, a basic understanding that can supplement and aid in the use of the usual undergraduate and graduate econometrics books like Green and others.
What is exactly opposite of these other books is that you can really enjoy reading this book while drinking your coffee, or lying on the sand enjoying the beach. I recommend this book in my syllabus to all my students in all graduate and undergraduate courses I teach.

best together with Greene's <>, 2008-05-19
This is a great book. But buy it for the right reason. All by itself, not as useful as a lot of the reviews suggests.
This has to be used together with Greene's <>. It suppliment a lot of the formulae with ideas and reasons. But it is light on formula by itself, and you can not use it as a reference. This is a explain book, tells you why we should do it this way, what to caution/watch for, what is the logic behind that.
So buy it with greene's book. Learn the math in greene's book, keep greene's book on the shelf as regular reference book. But read this book to understand ideas, and sort out complexicities.
Overall, still a great buy.

Great guide to actually using econometrics, 2008-05-18
This is a great econometrics book. I wish that I had found this book earlier in my graduate career, and now I find myself going to it all the time. It covers all the important concepts and is very clearly written. The best thing about the book is that it teaches how to use econometrics not just what it is. It makes that very important jump of teaching students how to apply these tools properly. I cannot recommend this book enough!

Great book for intuition, 2008-05-12
I highly recommend this book as a source of intuition for econometrics. As a Ph.D. student working on my own research I find this book very helpful when I want a quick and easy explanation. This book is also good for clarifying some basic concepts that never got adequate explanations in my econometrics courses. I only wish that this book had a little more coverage on limited dependent variable models.

Excellent text, 2008-04-09
Not many scientists can write but Peter Kennedy is NOT one of them. He presents the mathematical and statistical information in clear, concise language. A wonderful AND informative read!!
