Hate to say it but they all suck

I have taught 3 times and only used text 1 time

U need to make some notes and be sure to cover some articles. You will be surprised what u can do with a few well selected jep paper. But be sure to do a regression crash course to start off

Borjas is a standard undergrad book

Boeri/van Ours is didactical weak, but it follows a more modern approach.

I use Boeri/van Ours and some chapters of Boeri as supplements.
