Sultan Chand | Introduction To Econometrics | Dr. Jhumur Sengupta |

The first edition of Introduction to Econometrics was published in 2023. In the second edition, more problems have been added to the examples and exercises in each chapter. A new appendix explaining how to use STATA software for time series and panel data analysis has been included. The clear and straightforward approach to calculations and derivations addressing the fundamental theories and applications of Econometrics remains unchanged, making it ideal for beginners. The second edition continues to avoid the use of matrix algebra or calculus, as these methods can sometimes make the theory and empirical applications more complex for beginners.
