Description
These three volumes contain edited versions of papers and commentaries presented at invited symposium sessions of the Tenth World Congress of the Econometric Society 2010. The papers summarize and interpret key developments in economics and econometrics and they discuss future directions for a variety of topics, covering both theory and application. Written by the leading specialists, these volumes provide a unique, accessible survey of progress on the discipline. The first volume addresses economic theory, focusing on nonstandard markets, contracts, decision theory, communication and organizations, epistemics and calibration, and patents. The second volume addresses applied economics, with specific focuses on finance, political economy, trade and firm dynamics, economic growth, and perspectives on Chinese economic growth. The third volume primarily addresses econometrics, with specific focuses on the econometrics of industrial organization, macroeconometrics, econometric theory, empirical microeconomics, time series and panels, and the Mirrlees Review on tax reform in the twenty-first century.
Reviews / Votes
'This collection of papers gives an up-to-date review of the literature in major fields of economics by influential scholars. Anyone interested in knowing the frontier of knowledge in economic science will profit from reading these essays.' James J. Heckman, Nobel Laureate, Henry Schultz Distinguished Service Professor, University of Chicago, and President of the Econometric Society 2013 'Every five years a remarkable collective act of generosity takes place in the economics profession. More than fifty of the world's top researchers - all at their most productive and with great demands on their time - agree to write essays on the state of their respective fields. Equally generous is the work put in by the editors of these volumes, Daron Acemoglu, Manuel Arellano, and Eddie Dekel, who masterminded the Tenth World Congress of the Econometric Society held in Shanghai in August 2010, and whose task it was to decide the frontier fields and select the pioneering authors. We are indebted to them all for their insights into what is happening at the cutting edge and for showing us where economics is heading.' John Moore, Edinburgh University and London School of Economics and Political Science 'These three volumes contain selected plenary papers from the 2010 World Congress of the Econometric Society, which is the premier global scientific society for economic analysis. Leading economists from all parts of the world meet in such a world congress only once every five years, and the plenary speakers there endeavor to summarize the best of current research in theory and applications. Together in these volumes, they offer us a broad view of the frontier of economic analysis today.' Roger Myerson, Nobel Laureate, University of ChicagoMore details
