Dear Group, I am an economics student starting with PhD work in London. As preparation I would like to get to know R a little bit better. For Stata there are tons of books, however, can you recommend a book for R? I have some substantiated econometrics knowledge, so it should be more a how-to book. Best regards Thiemo --- Thiemo Fetzer, Economist http://freigeist.devmag.net http://www.devmag.net
How about Kleiber, C. & Zeileis, A. Applied Econometrics with R Springer, 2008?

There is also Rick Vinod's book Vinod, Hands-On Intermediate Econometrics Using R, World Scientific. http://www.worldscibooks.com/economics/6895.html And somewhat more specialized is Bernhard Pfaff's Pfaff, Analysis of Integrated and Cointegrated Time Series with R, Springer. http://www.springer.com/978-0-387-75966-1 You might find further useful information on the econometrics task view: http://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Econometrics And finally there was also a JSS special volume on "Econometrics in R" last year: http://www.jstatsoft.org/v27/ Best, Z
