Badi H. Baltagi is George Summey, Jr. Professor of Liberal Arts and Professor of Economics at Texas A & M University. He is a fellow and associate editor of the Journal of Econometrics, associate editor of Econometric Reviews, co-editor of Empirical Economics, and a recipient of the Multa Scripsit Award for Econometric Theory. Baltagi has published more than seventy articles in internationally recognized journals, and is the author of three books: Panel Data Analysis (1992), Econometric Analysis of Panel Data (1995), and Econometrics (second edition, 1999).

‘In such a rapidly expanding subject as econometrics, it becomes increasingly difficult to do full justice to every field. This book embodies the brilliant notion of having distinguished authorities in each field contribute the chapters. As a supplement to a textbook, or a source of reference in its own right, it represents a superb resource for students and research workers.’ James Davidson, Cardiff University
