What is Econometrics?

Badi Baltagi

Chapter Chapter 1 in Solutions Manual for Econometrics, 2015, pp 1-4 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter emphasizes that an econometrician has to be a competent mathematician and statistician who is an economist by training. It is the unification of statistics, economic theory and mathematics that constitutes econometrics. Each view point, by itself is necessary but not sufficient for a real understanding of quantitative relations in modern economic life, see Frisch (1933).
