This is a must-have reference book for any Econometrics class. No. It should be used for more than just a textbook on econometrics. However, it is an excellent supplement when a textbook is available. Consider having a personal tutor sitting with you all day to teach you the intricacies of econometrics. A Guide to Econometrics is of such high quality that you will frequently feel that way. Many econometrics textbooks discuss broad theories while expecting you to understand specific models. But this book is unique. The author skips over general theories and goes straight to the point in plain English. This method is far superior because many students must learn about the subject for the first time when they begin studying econometrics. Many readers recommend skipping Greene and Wooldridge and instead reading this book before econometrics becomes a source of frustration. The author also ensures that the students understand the equations and theory language in this book, so rote memorization is not required. Furthermore, there is no jargon, different words, or extraneous phrases. Kennedy outperforms the other authors of Econometrics.
