The book first discusses in depth various aspects of the well-known
inconsistency that arises when explanatory variables in a linear
regression model are measured with error. Despite this
inconsistency, the region where the true regression coeffecients
lies can sometimes be characterized in a useful way, especially
when bounds are known on the measurement error variance but also
when such information is absent. Wage discrimination with imperfect
productivity measurement is discussed as an important special case.
A Textbook on Macroeconomic Knowledge and Analysis
Two important new developments have occurred that have significant
impact on the evolution of econometrics, namely, the end of the
Cold War and the emergence of the information revolution in nearly
all economies of the world. The information revolution has had significant effect on data
flows, making them much more timely, accessible, and descriptive of
more parts of the economy. At the same time, it has changed the
industrial structure of many economies, giving rise to increasing
importance of the tertiary sectors (e.g. services). The new
generation of hardware and software enables econometricians to
handle larger and more complex problems, especially those that are
data intensive and computer intrusive. These major events require reconsideration and redrafting of
some of the materials of the original edition. The present volume retains the original structure of "Lectures
on Microeconomic Theory" and takes up principles of constructing
dynamic macroeconometric models and their use in economic analyses
and forecasting, while introducing many updates, revisions and
extensions. The description of the econometric methodology has been
limited to specific applications of time series analysis, and the
title has been changed to "Principles of Macroeconometric
Modeling."
The collection of chapters in the "Handbook of Population and
Family Economics" and their organization reflect the most recent
developments in economics pertaining to population issues and the
family. The rationale, contents, and organization of the "Handbook"
evolve from three premises. First, the family is the main arena in
which population outcomes are forged. Second, there are important
interactions and significant causal links across all demographic
phenomena. Third, the study of the size, composition, and growth of
a population can benefit from the application of economic
methodology and tools. The diversity and depth of the work reviewed
and presented in the "Handbook" conveys both the progress that has
been made by economists in understanding the forces shaping
population processes, including the behavior of families, and the
many questions, empirical and theoretical, that still remain. For

This Handbook adopts a traditional definition of the subject, and
focuses primarily on the explanation of international transactions
in goods, services, and assets, and on the main domestic effects of
those transactions.
Top scholars synthesize and analyze scholarship on this widely used tool of policy analysis in 27 articles, setting forth its accomplishments, difficulties, and means of implementation. Though CGE modeling does not play a prominent role in top U.S. graduate schools, it is employed universally in the development of economic policy. This collection is particularly important because it presents a history of modeling applications and examines competing points of view. Presents coherent summaries of CGE theories that inform major
model types |
