A supplement such as Using SAS for Econometrics is quite essential for use in a classroom environment, for those attempting to learn SAS, and for quick and useful reference. The SAS documentation comes in many volumes, and several are thousands of pages long. This makes for a very difficult challenge when getting started with SAS. This volume spans several levels of econometrics. It is suitable for undergraduate students who will use canned SAS statistical procedures, and for graduate students who will use advanced procedures as well as direct programming in SASs matrix language, discussed in chapter appendices. Material within the chapters is accessible to undergraduate and/or Masters students, with appendices to chapters devoted to more advanced materials and matrix programming.
