Conclusion.1 a"Putting Econometrics in its Place is an original and fascinating book, in which Peter Swann argues that econometrics has dominated applied economics for far too long and displaced other essential techniques. While Peter Swann is critical of the monopoly that econometrics currently holds in applied economics, the more important and positive contribution of the book is to propose a new direction and a new attitude to applied economics."--BOOK JACKET. 0aEconometrics.917283 0aEconomicsxStatistical methods.923942  2ddccBK  c8362d8362  102ddc4070aBPATCbBPATCcGENd2018-04-08l0o330.015195 SWP 2008p96157r2018-04-08 00:00:00w2018-04-08yBKzRashid
