economics-statistics Books

The subject is boring and you will bear in mind very dull pictures before you actually start reading the book. The first 3 Chapters might give you boring impression, but it is because the platform of the subject has to be revealed even if it is not that exciting. Further chapters are REALLY Good. It is actually the handbook for conducting business research - from the very formulation of your research question till the very end, hypothesis acception or rejection. Moreover, I was advised by many PhD students to use this book while writing my research paper. The book does have all the features stated on the back page of the book. It is not only theoretical guideline but also practical handbook which has answers almost to all your questions. I really like it.

When tackling an MBA thesis, this book was the best we came across. It is well-structured, written in a very readable style and has a good index. Jankowicz explains what is usually expected at various levels (from undergraduate to Ph.D.). The content is often academic, but if your thesis is supposed to have a serious academic component and you are interested in producing a solid report, that will help rather than hinder you. It's the kind of book interested students will dip into over and over again in the course of writing a thesis. Having Jankowicz on the shelf won't replace a helpful academic supervisor, but it will answer MANY questions, thus allowing you to use your supervisor's time more productively, for issues specific to your project. If your project is data-heavy, you will need other reference material; suggestions are provided in the book.

"Metcalfe's book is an excellent reference for those students having difficulty getting their research started...By orientating the researcher's mind to what tehy really want to say and how they are going to say it, Metcalfe provides them with the confidence to venture into such areas. In terms of recommending a research methods text to new researchers, Business Research Through Argumetn by Mike Metcalfe represents a very safe choice."

This latest fifth edition provides a fine compendium of business statistics in this country, from key features of the 1999 revision of the GDP accounts to over a hundred data tables presenting years of annual data and monthly historical statistics. An excellent addition to any corporate research department or serious college-level business reference book collection.

Everything you need as an MBA student. Comprehensive, straight forward, and with many examples. Couldn't find an other book that comes even close...

I had to buy this book for my stats class. The book store was selling it for $172.00. I got this book for 1/4 of that price and it is in great shape. Fast shipping, I am very happy with this purchase. Thank you!

I am an economics student and my Statistics Instructor, Mrs Pastine, used to give citations to it I believe this is the best statistics book you can find if you are a student of management and economics It tells everthing in a way that you first get the idea and then apply it into math Unlike other statistics books you dont need to fight any formulas Also I believe the examples are really intiuative

A colleague had this book and we all used it on a regular basis because, as engineers, our job requires us to present everything with data. Therefore, we need to understand the statistics behind the data. This book is very easy to read and understand for those of us that have some statistical background but are not experts. It was a great reference for our group. Now that that colleague has left, we needed to get another copy!!
