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?
Of course, I have to recommend our book
Kleiber & Zeileis, Applied Econometrics with R, Springer.
http://www.springer.com/978-0-387-77316-2
http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=AER
You can grab the preface and intro chapters in the "Sample pages" on
Springer's page to get an impression.
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:

Best,
