Excellent reference book

Good for both students and graduates, this book offers clear description of concepts and equations.

Gujarati makes econometrics perfectly clear

As a Ph.D. student in finance I'm currently taking my first course on econometrics. Our class text is Greene's Econometric Analysis. The Greene book is great for graduate student level coverage, but when it comes to getting clear answers to my basic questions, I always reach for "Guj." He provides thorough yet highly lucid descriptions of all the key econometric topics. Also, there is a chapter on the more advanced linear algebra approach to econometrics along with good appendices to cover relevant statistics. I wouldn't try to learn econometrics without the Guj.

The ideal beginning in econometrics

This book is very comprehensive and disarmingly simple for everyone who has an idea about what economics is all about and has heard the word "statistics" before in his life. Dozens of detailed examples covering nearly every field of econometrics. Give it a try!

A good book to learn econometrics

Usually econometric terms and its implications should be not clear for people who haven't studied economics. This book saves to beginers students and people interested in economics, a lot of work on reading. We used this book, 3 years and have been a great helpful for my job, and teaching. All our universities uses Prof. Gujarati's book in courses of Econometrics

A top class, comprehensible book for a difficult subject

Gujarati succeeds in making this subject interesting, given the difficult nature of the subject. For the less mathematically minded among us (including myself), the algebra and proofs are simple to follow in the brilliant appendices.
