Anne Beatty Professor of Accounting

Book Title: Elements of Econometrics

Author: Jan Kmenta

Selection Statement:

Ronald Coase, a Nobel laureate in economics said "if you torture the data long enough Nature will confess." I chose Kmenta's econometrics text because it was my undergraduate introduction to the data torture tools essential for conducting empirical accounting research. This book is not only accessible to undergraduates but also a valuable reference book that I continue to use to this day.
