General Concept of the Volume

The main aim of the volume is to guide readers through the evolution econometric methods, models, and its connections with economics, taking into account the general lessons that can be drawn. Why some approaches aged well, some others less so. Hopefully, the volume will uncover the reasons behind this together with the implications this may have on future research and applications.

Target Audience

The general economics, econometrics and statistics community, including researchers and graduate students.
