Applied Econometrics

In the memorable words of Ragnar Frisch, econometrics is 'a unification of the theoretical-quantitative and the empirical-quantitative approach to economic problems'. Beginning to take shape in the 1930s and 1940s, econometrics is now recognized as a vital subdiscipline supported by a vast-and still rapidly growing-body of literature.

Following the positive reception of The Rise of Econometrics (2013) (978-0-415-61678-2), Routledge now announces a new collection bringing together the best that has been published on the practical application and functional use of economic metrics and measurements. With a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the assembled materials in their historical and intellectual context, Applied Econometrics is an essential work of reference. This fully indexed collection will be particularly useful as an indispensable database allowing scattered and often fugitive material to be easily located. It will also be welcomed as a crucial tool permitting rapid access to less familiar-and sometimes overlooked-texts. For researchers and students, as well as economic policy-makers, it is a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource.
