"Econometrics textbooks see their subject as a set of techniques;
Magnus and Morgan see it as a set of practices. A combination of
controlled experiment and anthropology of science, Methodology and
Tacit Knowledge gives a rare inside view of how econometricians
work, why econometrics is an art and not a set of simple recipes,
and why, like all artists, econometricians differ in their
techniques and finished works. This is economic methodology at its
best." Kevin Hoover, University of California, Davis
"The tacit knowledge experiment was a highly commendable
initiative. Its exploration of the theme of how knowledge is
acquired and used in applied econometrics is unique and produced
some fascinating insights into this process." Adrian Pagan,
Australian National University
"It is rare, perhaps unique, to find leading empirical
economists face the prospect of modelling the same phenomena, with
the same data within the same limited time frame. A valuable and
illuminating experiment in comparative research methodologies, made
all the more provocative when compared to the excellent original
study by Tobin." Richard Blundell, University College London
This book will be of considerable interest to economists and to
econometricians concerned about the methodology of their own
discipline, and will provide valuable material for researchers in
science studies and for teachers of econometrics.
