On Monday, after answering any questions you may have for me about the
homework, I will start on page 151 of the lecture notes ("Hypothesis
Testing"). I hope to get to page 172 ("Full Results of the 5 Models
B").
Please read the following article by Monday December 1:
MacKuen, Michael B., Robert S. Erikson and James A. Stimson. 1992.
Peasants or Bankers? The American Electorate and the U.S. Economy.
American Political Science Review 86(3): 597-611.
(The article is available via JSTOR).
BTW, one of you has asked for a quick calculus review book. It isn't
necessary to look at this book because the calculus material is NOT
REQUIRED for this course, but knowledge of calculus obviously helps
when trying to understand how we obtain the OLS beta. The following
book is on reserve in Littauer for this purpose:
Kleppner, Daniel. Quick calculus: for self-study or classroom
use. New York, Wiley [1972]. QA303 .K673
Cheers,
JS.
