This disk contains various time-series and cross-section data

used in the numerical examples in the text. They are also

used in some of the problems at the end of each chapter.

The disk also includes program codes to do some of the simulation

exercises in chapter 11. Instructors and students may devise

further exercises in applied econometrics involving these data.

In this disk there are seven subdirectories. Each subdirectory is

labeled CHAP# corresponding to the relevant chapter in the book.

The subdirectory CHAP1013 contains Current Population Survey Data

used in the text in Chapters 10-13 (This data is also used in Chapter 6.)

Each subdirectory contains its own README.DOC file describing the

data contained in that subdirectory. We use the notation

NSA: not seasonally adjusted

SA: seasonally adjusted

SAAR: seasonally adjusted at an annual rate
