1) This text is intended for a one-year graduate course for social scientists.


2) It includes five chapters on estimation methods used in current research and five chapters on applications in micro- and macroeconometrics.


3) Appendix E and Chapter 15 contain a description of numerical methods that will


be useful to practicing econometricians.


4) The author has revised the presentation throughout the book to streamline the development of topics, in some cases , to improve the clarity of


the derivations.
