Rational Econometric Man

Edward J. Nell and Karim Errouaki

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This challenging and original book takes a fresh, innovative look at econometrics, and re-examines the scientific standing of structural econometrics as developed by the founders (Frisch and Tinbergen) and extended by Haavelmo and the Cowles modellers (particularly Klein) during the period 1930–1960.
