Recent advances in asymptotic approximation theory, including the use of higher order asymptotics for things like estimator bias correction, and the use of various expansion and other theoretical tools for the development of bootstrap techniques designed for implementation when carrying out inference are at the forefront of theoretical development in the field of econometrics. One important feature of these advances in the theory of econometrics is that they are being seamlessly and almost immediately incorporated into the ?empirical toolbox? that applied practitioners use when actually constructing models using data, for the purposes of both prediction and policy analysis and the more theoretically targeted chapters in the book will discuss these developments. Turning now to empirical methodology, chapters on prediction methodology will focus on macroeconomic and financial applications, such as the construction of diffusion index models for forecasting with very large numbers of variables, and the construction of data samples that result in optimal predictive accuracy tests when comparing alternative prediction models. Chapters carefully outline how applied practitioners can correctly implement the latest theoretical refinements in model specification in order to ?build? the best models using large-scale and traditional datasets, making the book of interest to a broad readership of economists from theoretical econometricians to applied economic practitioners. 606 $aEconometrics$xAsymptotic theory 606 $aCausation 606 $aPrediction theory 615 0$aEconometrics$xAsymptotic theory. 615 0$aCausation. 615 0$aPrediction theory. 676 $a621.382 676 $a621.382/2 701 $aChen$b Xiaohong$01716682 701 $aSwanson$b Norman R$0293361 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438072503321 996 $aRecent advances and future directions in causality, prediction, and specification analysis$94191527 997 $aUNINA
