Review Time Series Analysis

by JAMES D. HAMILTON

Description

With the coming of a new modern era in finances and economy comes an equally overwhelmingly new array of analysis in the aspects of time series, which can be a confusing time for graduate students as they seek out where to start. James D. Hamilton’s “Time Series Analysis” narrows down the search by creating these aspects of analysis into a comprehensive yet advanced resource. Considered as a one-stop guide to various and newly-acquired economic analysis inventions such as time-varying instances, and vector autoregressions, “Time Series Analysis” introduces theory to the practicalities of real-world information. Many students and economists consider this book as a much-needed guide for anyone interested in the subject of time series analysis.
