Key features
- Provides students with a clear explanation of data analysis, as one third of the book consists of running case studies that develop the data analysis process logically through the book by using real-world scenarios and data
- Fills an important and growing niche between technical econometrics books and more basic business analytics texts
- Ideal for students who do not want to take more econometrics courses but would rather gain hands-on experience of working with real data. Suitable for non-PhD track students in economics and business
- Coding language neutral. The text does not include code in any language, and hence, may be used in a variety of settings
- Uses R and Stata and Python to teach methods, a far more useful and industry relevant approach than the spreadsheet programs used by most business analytics books
- Full suite of ancillaries, including code and data used in case studies that have been carefully curated to match the printed text
