2011 至 2018 年間,本魯在臺大經濟系講授博士班計量經濟理論,前後編寫了 408 頁的課程講義。此後,就不再開授過經研所博士班程度的計量經濟理論的課,於是這些講義便寂寞地躺在電腦資料夾的深處。
與其讓它們就這麼塵封著,不如讓它們以比較體面的姿態,繼續寂寞地躺在資料夾深處——於是這陣子本魯動手做了大幅的修訂與擴充。
當然,若想跟著一流計量經濟學家學一流的計量經濟理論,絕對該讀 Bruce Hansen 那本堪稱聖經的磚頭巨著;當代的經濟學博士生們也大多是啃著那本聖經級的磚頭計量巨著。但萬一真有人?想學?一位邊陲國家的三流計量經濟學家,如何以三流的方式學計量經濟理論,那麼下面這兩本,就絕對是 must read:
- 《Econometric Theory》教科書 ——551 頁
- 《Solutions Manual》習題詳解 ——524 頁(各章章末習題皆附逐步完整解答,便於自修)
兩份 PDF 檔皆可下載。(沒有要出版,單純教學用途、純粹分享給運氣不好的人讀到)
