Title: Awful Verbose Book
Product review: With its proud eschewing of math (the back of the book says "'basic' means less math"), the book strains to explain concepts without sensible math notation. Simple ideas become long paragraphs because of this. It's almost as if Gujarati has turned the lectures he gives at the university at which he teaches into a book. Instead of being a resource of good example problems and concisely expressed formulas, we have a long book with too little content and too much talking to retain student interest. Perhaps less math oriented students would appreciate this book, but most students who choose to take intro-econometrics have some interest in economics itself, which, more often than not, requires more advanced study of econometrics, which, unlike this book, won't resist the math intrinsic to econometrics. Worse still is the organization of this book, which, given its emphasis on formulas, hasn't done a very good job of making the formulas easy to find.Not recommended.
