Mathematical Economics/Econometrics

I am currently in the process of teaching myself statistics and mathematical economics with the goal of learning econometrics at a later date. I have been searching the internet for resources in both these areas. The best resources I have provided here:

Mathematical Economics:
Khan Academy: Has you tube videos and exercises on algebra, statistics, calculus, and finance.
Longlinear Publishing:  Free mathematical economics textbook and workbook. There is also another textbook on time series analysis.
Mathematics for Economics: enhancing Teaching and Learning: A great resource with learning material, including teaching and learning guides, videos, automatically generated exercises. The material is the equivalent of quantitative methods A taking the student from algebra to basic calculus.
Methods in Economics Analysis: University of Essex's course page including study guide, exercises and answers. Linear Equations to Derivatives.
Mathematical Methods: University of Essex's course page includes study guide, exercises and answers. Calculus.

Econometrics/Statistics:
Video for statistics for economists: 19 videos explaining introductory statistics.
Excel is fun: Statistics in excel 2010: Youtube videos, very detailed, he provides workbooks so you can work along while watching.
University of Essex: Economic Statistics: Course material from the university of Essex's Economic Statistics Course includes practice problems and answers, powerpoints and past exams.
London School of Economics: Introductory Econometrics course material: Assumes knowledge of statistics and multivariable calculus.
Econometrics Methods and Application: University of Essex's course page including studying guide, exercises and answers. 
Econometrics Academy Free econometrics course!

  1. Coding in R is a massive skill to have as well, employers love it and it will save you a lot of time.

  2. Really, I've heard it's more of an academic thing. I've installed RExcel on my computer, I haven't had a chance to play with it. Maybe creating a video tutorial could be a UNES project.

  3. For what it is worth, I did some work at a hedge fund, and all our group used was R. My impression is that Google uses a lot of R internally, too (they even have an R code style guide). All good things in my opinion. Then again, I like R more than the average economist.

  4. Tony, thanks for your input. I purchased a copy of your text. It's really good. I should really do a write up of it. Though an epub/mobi version would be really good.
