I am a first year PhD student and I am having a hard time getting through my first capital markets seminar since I am currently taking statistical regression and will not take econometrics until next quarter. Can someone give me some words of advice? Anything I can read (that doesn't take too much time!) that can get me through this? Thanks |

Basic Econometrics by Damodar N. Gujarati (McGraw-Hill) is a good easy to read econometrics book. What is your teacher's focus? Our teacher was not focused so much on the econometrics because she knew we had not taken the courses, but more on the research questions and results. A Guide to Econometrics by Kennedy is also a recommended book that might help you. |

Schaum's outlines provide good reviews of complex concepts. You can get them on-line. I think they have an econometric module too. |

These two easy-to-read books could help: (1) "The Econometrics of Financial Markets" by Campbell, Lo, and McKinlay; (2) "Introductory Econometrics for Finance" by Chris Brooks. Check them out at the library before you decide to buy your own copy. If these appear too technical for you at this time, then go for a grassroots book: "Econometric Models and Economic Forecasts" by Pindyck and Rubinfeld. Good luck. |
