This book offers an easily accessible, practical approach to the analysis of cross section and experimental data using the versatile Windows–based computer software program EViews. With a wealth of examples and an emphasis on defining and testing statistical hypotheses, Cross Section and Experimental Data Analysis Using EViews is an essential resource for solving real–life problems.
 
The author:
 Supplies step–by–step directions on application of EViews to cross section data analysis – from multivariate analysis and nonlinear models to non–parametric regressionProffers guidance on developing relevant descriptive statistical summaries based on evaluation studiesExplains how to develop and evaluate statistical empirical models without the need for computational formulaeDiscusses alternative methods for data analysis based on various experimental data sets Presents over 200 examples as well as special notes and comments derived from his own experience, and illustrates techniques through practical examples from real situations
 
Designed as an instructive guide, Cross Section and Experimental Data Analysis Using EViews is ideally suited to undergraduate and graduate students taking econometrics, population, or public policy courses. Applied policy researchers, decision makers, and bureaucrats will also find this book indispensible.
