Welcome to the website of Mastering Econometrics!

On this page, you can find study materials that accompany Mastering Econometrics and download the necessary data sets (available as .xlsx files) to solve the empirical exercises in the book. We also provide solution scripts based on the programming language R. Please note that these scripts are intended for checking purposes; we highly encourage you to write your own code.

For users that are unfamiliar with R, we have recorded two short instruction videos that explain some of the basics. These can be viewed on this website. We hope that these videos will help you to get started, even when you do not have prior programming knowledge. To use the programming scripts, you must have R installed on your computer (click here to download). We advise using the more user-friendly programme RStudio to do the data analyses, which can be downloaded from here.

We hope that Mastering Econometrics and its corresponding website will prove useful on your econometrics journey, and welcome any comments or suggestions you may have. Instructors can obtain an associated Instructor's Manual via VU University Press.
