This is a link to a bibliography of books on time series analysis.
http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook ... pmc7.htmIf you are looking for a short, straight-forward treatment the Nelson 'Applied Time Series Analysis' wasa standard MBA level book for many years. I agree that the other references given on this Forum are excellent, though the Box and Jenkins book is a bit dense to start-off with.I'd add Granger, CWJ, and Newbold, P. (1986). Forecasting Economic Time Series. Academic Press, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, New York, NY, USA, second edition as another very good book.
