This overview examines conditions for reliable economic policy analysis based on econometric models, focusing on the econometric concepts of exogeneity, cointegration, causality, and invariance. Weak, strong, and super exogeneity are discussed in general; and these concepts are then applied to...

We characterize modern econometrics in terms of the emergence a widely accepted analytical framework. A major theme … research sought to base econometrics on autonomous probabilistic models specified in terms of underlying structural parameters … expositions of what was accepted as standard econometrics in the late sixties and early seventies. Subsequently, the paradigm was …

This paper analyzes the effects of local externalities on the probability of starting a new economic activity. We use firm-level data and geographic information on French zip-codes for 1993-2002. Poisson and Negative Binomial panel data models are estimated as they naturally allow for large sets...
