Product Description: This text provides a self-contained account of periodic models for seasonally observed economic time series with stochastic trends. The analysis considers econometric theory, Monte Carlo simulation and forecasting, and it is illuminated with empirical time series...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Time Series Models for Business and Economic Forecasting is the most up-to-date and accessible guide to one of the fastest growing areas in business and economic analysis. The author is regarded as one of the most accomplished econometricians in Europe and this book is based on his highly successful lecture program for multidisciplinary, graduate and upper level undergraduate students. Early chapters of the book focus on the typical features of time series data in business and economics. Later chapters are concerned with the discussion of some important concepts in time series analysis, the techniques that can be readily applied in practice, different modeling methods and model structures, multivariate time, and the common aspects across time series.

This is a concise introduction to the literature on the statistical analysis of atypical observations in economic and financial time series. It shows how statistical techniques usually applied to cross-sectional data can be applied to time series in order to avoid the use of inappropriate models. About the SeriesAdvanced Texts in Econometrics is a distinguished and rapidly expanding series in which leading econometricians assess recent developments in such areas as stochastic probability, panel and time series data analysis, modeling, and cointegration. In both hardback and affordable paperback, each volume explains the nature and applicability of a topic in greater depth than possible in introductory textbooks or single journal articles. Each definitive work is formatted to be as accessible and convenient for those who are not familiar with the detailed primary literature.

This book presents the most important and practically relevant quantitative models for marketing research. Each model includes a demonstration of the mechanics of the model, empirical analysis, real world examples, and an interpretation of results and findings. The reader will learn how to apply the techniques, as well as understand the latest methodological developments in the academic literature. Students and practitioners with differing numerical skills are guided through the book, although a knowledge of elementary numerical techniques is assumed.
