PREFACE
This manual contains solutions to the odd-numbered problems and computer exercises in
Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach, 4e. Hopefully, you will find that the
solutions are detailed enough to act as a study supplement to the text. Rather than just
presenting the final answer, I usually provide detailed steps, emphasizing where the
chapter material is used in solving the problems.
Some of the answers given here are subjective, and you or your instructor may have
perfectly acceptable alternative answers or opinions.
I obtained the solutions to the computer exercises using Stata, starting with version 4.0
and ending with version 9.0. Nevertheless, almost all of the estimation methods covered
in the text have been standardized, and different econometrics or statistical packages
should give the same answers to the reported degree of accuracy. There can be
differences when applying more advanced techniques, as conventions sometimes differ
on how to choose or estimate auxiliary parameters. (Examples include
heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors, estimates of a random effects model, and
corrections for sample selection bias.) Any differences in estimates or test statistics
should be practically unimportant, provided you are using a reasonably large sample size.
While I have endeavored to make the solutions free of mistakes, some errors may have
crept in. I would appreciate hearing from students who find mistakes. I will keep a list
of any notable errors on the Web site for the book, www.international.cengage.com. I
would also like to hear from students who have suggestions for improving either the
solutions or the problems themselves. I can be reached via e-mail at [email protected].
I hope that you find this solutions manual helpful when used in conjunction with the text.
I look forward to hearing from you.
