Walter Enders' Applied Econometric Time Series text provides a lucid introduction to and discussion of most of the key topics in modern time series econometrics, including stationarity and unit roots, ARIMA models, volatility (ARCH/GARCH) models, cointegration models, and more. It is 460 pages long, hardbound, and is primarily geared towards those taking Masters and PhD courses in time series analysis or advanced econometrics, or for professionals who wish to learn more about time series analysis techniques.
His RATS Handbook for Econometric Time Series, written in 1996 to accompany the first edition of the textbook, is very helpful resource for new RATS users, and for those who are looking to explore time series techniques in more depth. It can serve either as a stand-alone workbook for RATS users, or as a perfect companion to the Applied Econometric Time Series text. It is particularly well suited for students and professors who are using RATS in a time series econometrics course. However, other users who are either new to RATS, or who are new to these techniques should also find it very helpful.
The RATS Handbook is just over 200 pages in length, and is printed in a convenient 8.5"x11" soft-bound format. It begins with a general introduction to RATS, and then follows the basic structure of Chapters 2 through 6 of Applied Econometric Time Series, as shown below. Each chapter of the Handbook includes: a brief theoretical discussion of the topic at hand, an introduction to the relevant RATS instructions, several annotated example programs, suggested exercises and questions.
