These lecture notes are prepared for an introductory course in Econometrics. These notes borrow heavily from the teaching material that I have developed over several years of instruction of this course at the James Madison University.
One of my main objectives is to develop a textbook in Economterics that is more accessible to undergraduate students than standard textbooks available in the market. Most of these textbooks in my opinion are densely written and assume advanced mathematical skills on the part of our students. Further, I have also struggled with their topic selection and organization. Often I end up not following the chapters in order and modify content (by adding or subtracting) to meet my students needs. Such changes causes confusion for some students and more importantly discourages optimal use of the textbook. Hence, this is an undertaking to develop a primer on Econometrics that is accessible, follows a more logical sequencing of topics, and covers content that is most useful for undergraduate students in business and economics.
