Dynamic Econometrics (Advanced Texts in Econometrics)

by David F. Hendry

Dynamic Econometrics presents a systematic and operational approach to econometric modelling, based on the outcome of a twenty-year research programme. It addresses the practical difficulties of modelling data when the mechanism is unknown, with theory and evidence interlinked at every stage of the discussion. The main problem in econometric modelling of time series is discovering sustainable and interpretable relationships between observed economic variables. This book develops an econometric approach which sustains constructive modelling, clarifies the status of empirical econometric models, and formulates structured tools for critically appraising evidence. Professor Hendry deals with methodological issues of model discovery, data mining, and progressive research strategies, and with major tools for modelling (including recursive methods, encompassing, super exogeneity, and invariance tests). In addition, he considers practical problems of collinearity, heteroscedacity, and measurem
