Econometric Modeling and Inference

Themes in Modern Econometrics

by Jean-Pierre Florens, Vêlayoudom Marimoutou, Anne Peguin-Feissolle

The aim of this book is to present the main statistical tools of econometrics. It covers almost all modern econometric methodology and unifies the approach by using a small number of estimation techniques, many from generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation. The work is in four parts: Part I sets forth statistical methods, Part II covers regression models, Part III investigates dynamic models, and Part IV synthesizes a set of problems that are specific models in structural econometrics, namely identification and overidentification, simultaneity, and unobservability. Many theoretical examples illustrate the discussion and can be treated as application exercises.
