Laura C. Field

I chose this book because it was my first introduction to econometrics as an undergraduate student. It was through reading this book that I began to see my future as an empirical researcher. The course was taught at UCLA by Professor Trudy Cameron, an econometrician who became my mentor and encouraged me to go into academia. I have fond memories of the hours I spent studying for her class, and I am very grateful to Trudy Cameron and Damodar Gujarati for introducing me to empirical research.
