Introductory Econometrics

This seventh edition moves beyond abstract methods and emphasizes how econometrics is used to address real-world business, policy, and forecasting questions. Wooldridge structures each chapter around data types—cross-sectional, time-series, and panel data—introducing assumptions progressively to aid comprehension. With over 100 real-world datasets in formats like R, Stata, Excel, and EViews, it combines theory with a practical mindset. The edition is updated with modern developments in causal inference and treatment effects modeling, and is supported by a digital learning platform (MindTap) for active case-based exploration.
