Publisher's Synopsis
This volume examines the development of econometrics and the ways in which it is practised. Debate on the subject has been animated, with some authors suggesting that econometrics has been deceiving the economics profession. In this volume, many of those most prominent in documenting the history of econometrics have joined with methodologists and practising econometricians in an attempt to throw historical light on current controversies and to explain how the discipline has reached its current position.
