Título: Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data
Autor: Jeffrey M. Wooldridge
Sinopse: The second edition of a comprehensive state-of-the-art graduate level text on microeconometric methods, substantially revised and updated.The second edition of this acclaimed graduate text provides a unified treatment of two methods used in contemporary econometric research, cross section and data panel methods. By focusing on assumptions that can be given behavioral content, the book maintains an appropriate level of rigor while emphasizing intuitive thinking. The analysis covers both linear and nonlinear models, including models with dynamics and/or individual heterogeneity. In addition to general estimation frameworks (particular methods of moments and maximum likelihood), specific linear and nonlinear methods are covered in detail, including probit and logit models and their multivariate, Tobit models, models for count data, censored and missing data schemes, causal (or treatment) effects, and duration analysis.Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data was the first graduate econometrics text to focus on microeconomic data structures, allowing assumptions to be separated into population and sampling assumptions. This second edition has been substantially updated and revised. Improvements include a broader class of models for missing data problems; more detailed treatment of cluster problems, an important topic for empirical researchers; expanded discussion of "generalized instrumental variables" (GIV) estimation; new coverage (based on the author's own recent research) of inverse probability weighting; a more complete framework for estimating treatment effects with panel data, and a firmly established link between econometric approaches to nonlinear panel data and the "generalized estimating equation" literature popular in statistics and other fields. New attention is given to explaining when particular econometric methods can be applied; the goal is not only to tell readers what does work, but why certain "obvious" procedures do not. The numerous included exercises, both theoretical and computer-based, allow the reader to extend methods covered in the text and discover new insights.
Contexto da obra
Quando a classificação é mais ampla, o contexto do livro costuma depender ainda mais de autoria, tema e edição. “Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data”, de Jeffrey M. Wooldridge, publicado pela editora MIT Press (MA), em 2010 e com 1064 páginas, integra a categoria Livros Variados. Por isso, autoria, edição e tema acabam tendo ainda mais peso na forma de apresentar o livro.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora MIT Press (MA) costumam apresentar uma abordagem aprofundada e técnica em áreas como linguística computacional, economia, robótica e neurociência. A leitura geralmente exige atenção a conceitos complexos, com textos que mesclam rigor matemático e explicações acessíveis, indicando um público acadêmico ou profissional. O catálogo sugere obras que equilibram teoria e aplicação, como o uso de métodos estatísticos em processamento de linguagem natural e a integração de modelos dinâmicos com dados empíricos. Além disso, há um interesse recorrente por temas ligados à tecnologia, ciência social e filosofia, com narrativas que podem variar entre o mais descritivo e o analítico, sempre com um tom didático e detalhado.
