standard reference on VARS
If you are looking for a book on VARs and cointegration, this is it.
Very clearly written, and with numerical applications of every new concept (so that you can check the accuracy of your codes ...)
Its a significantly improved version of the last edition.
Highly recommended.
Welcomed Surprise
This book provides a fairly elementary view of the vast subject of time series analysis. It easy to read and the author provides lots of basic calculations. Typically, such books stay away from the cutting edge topics but not this one. It is quite complete. I highly recommend it to anyone that knows a few basic things about time series and wants to take it much further.
