The Methodology and Practice of Econometrics: A Festschrift in Honour of David F. Hendry
By Jennifer Castle, Neil Shephard

Description:
David F. Hendry is a seminal figure in modern econometrics. He haspioneered the LSE approach to econometrics, and his influence is wideranging. This book is a collection of papers dedicated to him and hiswork. Many internationally renowned econometricians who havecollaborated with Hendry or have been influenced by his research havecontributed to this volume, which provides a reflection on the recentadvances in econometrics and considers the future progress for themethodology of econometrics. Central themes of the book include dynamicmodelling and the properties of time series data, model selection andmodel evaluation, forecasting, policy analysis, exogeneity andcausality, and encompassing. The book strikes a balance betweeneconometric theory and empirical work, and demonstrates the influencethat Hendry's research has had on the direction of modern econometrics.
