She analyses the development of the theory and methodology between 1930 and 1960, arguing in particular that the "probability revolution" of the 1940's was incomplete, and resulted in later problems.Duo Qin has provided a scholarly study of a crucial period in the history of econometrics. She traces the formation of econometric theory during the period 1930-1960, and focuses on the formalization of mathematical and scientific processes to analyse economic problems. This book deals with the advances made in the practice of econometrics as a discipline, in terms of the basic issues is econometric modelling: the probability of foundations, estimations, identification, testing, and model construction and specification. Duo Qin argues that, while the probability revolution in econometrics in the early 1940's laid the basis for the systematization of econometric theory, it was actually an incomplete revolution, and its incompleteness underlay various problems and failures that occurred in applying the newly established theory to modelling practice. Model construction and hypothesis testing remained problematic because the basic problem of induction in econometrics was not properly formalized and solved. The book thus links early econometric history with many issues of interest to contemporary developments in econometrics.EconometricsHistoryEconomicsHistoryElectronic books.EconometricsHistory.EconomicsHistory.330.015195Qin Duo632069MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456016703321The formation of econometrics1958425UNINA
