Extensive coverage of the first six topics covered in this lesson can be found
in the book by Michael Melvin, International Money and Finance, which is
published by Addison-Wesley. The relevant chapters are 1, 4, 5 and 6. For
review of the statistics concepts used in Topic 7, for those readers who have
little background in statistical analysis you can download my
Statistics
for Economists: A Beginning from my web-site. Those with insufficient
background in statistics should read all of Chapter 1 and the discussion of
the meaning of probability in Chapter 2, to the end of page 48. The normal
distribution is discussed in Chapter 3, Section 10, pages 89 to the middle of
page 91, and simple linear regression is covered in Chapter 8.
