β¦ Synopsis
This highly accessible and innovative text and accompanying CD-ROM use Excel (R) workbooks powered by Visual Basic macros to teach the core concepts of econometrics without advanced mathematics. It enables students to run Monte Carlo simulations in order to understand the data generating process and sampling distribution. Intelligent repetition of concrete examples effectively conveys the properties of the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator and the nature of heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation. Coverage includes omitted variables, binary response models, basic time series, and simultaneous equations. The authors teach students how to construct their own real-world data sets drawn from the internet, which they can analyze with Excel (R) or with other econometric software. The Excel add-ins allow students to draw histograms, to compute P-values and robust standard errors, and to construct their own MonteCarlo and bootstrap simulations.

Another book on the Monte Carlo simulation? Yes, but this is a kind of book I wanted to have when I was a student. It guides you to explore the fantastic world of Monte Carlo simulations and acquire basic computational knowledge to create and run your own simulation programs. The intended readers

<DIV>Trading requires a combination of intuition, discipline and process. Of the three, intuition is the most difficult to teach. While individual intuition can be built over years of experience, there are tools that make it easier to pick up and transfer intuition faster. Furthermore, a lack of int
