Problems and Methods of Econometrics: The Poincar Lectures of Ragnar Frisch 1933

Ragnar Frisch was one of the founders of economics as a modern science and won the first ever nobel prize for economics in 1969. He is famous for coining a number of terms such as econometrics and macroeconomics which are common currency today. This set of lecture notes is a rare exhibition of Frisch's overview on econometrics. Its accessible and astute description of economic and econometric modelling versus economic reality shines a timeless warning light especially for those who are deeply lost in the thick mist of formal technique twiddling.Frisch, Ragnar is the author of 'Problems and Methods of Econometrics: The Poincar Lectures of Ragnar Frisch 1933' with ISBN 9780415451444 and ISBN 0415451442.
