This concise and intuitive book presents a unified approach of modern linear and nonlinear econometrics, integrating theory and practice. Every major topic has a number of examples, exercises or case studies, many involving the use of actual data that are typical for current empirical work and made available on the internet. This learning-by-doing method prepares readers to design, develop and successfully finish their own research and/or solve real-world problems.

From the reviews:
"This textbook presents a unified approach of linear and nonlinear econometrics to the application of recent research topics in applied economics. … The book is written for final year bachelor and master students, but it may also be useful for practitioners in business and public institutions … . Given that most econometric textbooks deal either with linear or with nonlinear econometrics, this book bridges the gap by treating each topic with equal importance and by using a unified notation, to present the different approaches." (Herbert S. Buscher, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1098 (24), 2006)
