Books that I recommend

Each of these books has had an impact on my thought and action as an applied econometrician. This is a work in progress and I will add to this as I have time. 

The Amazon links are to physical books, but in most cases, a Kindle version is available on the reference page. If you purchase one using the Amazon link I will make a small bounty, however, your price is not elevated by that. 

Kennedy, P. A guide to econometrics. (2008). Malden, MA: Blackwell.  This is my number 1 book on my shelf.  See my blog on why here.  I also referenced Kennedy here and here. Shoutout to Marc Bellemare who tells why Kennedy is “…hands down my favorite econometrics book.”

Books I used in classes back in the day

DiNardo, J., & Johnston, J. (1997). Econometric Methods. 4th. Still, one of the finest expositions of the linear model in matrix terms.

Pindyck, R. S., & Rubinfeld, D. L. (1998). Econometric models and economic forecasts (Vol. 4). Boston: Irwin/McGraw-Hill. Most examples in this text are still in the details section of the SAS documentation. 

Kmenta, J. Elements of Econometrics. 1997. The University of Michigan Press. A classic that has not since been beat for combining deep mathematical-statistical foundations with the linear model in a version assessable to MA level applied econometrics students.
