Böcker av Christian (CREST-INSEE Gourieroux

This is the second volume in a major two-volume set of advanced texts in econometrics. It is a work of synthesis that covers both the basic and more sophisticated models. The books are distinctive for their attention to intuitive reasoning and the presentation of many real-world economic examples.

This textbook introduces students progressively to various aspects of qualitative models and assumes a knowledge of basic principles of statistics and econometrics. Inferring qualitative characteristics of data on socioeconomic class, education, employment status, and the like - given their discrete nature - requires an entirely different set of tools from those applied to purely quantitative data. Written in accessible language and offering cogent examples, students are given valuable means to gauge real-world economic phenomena. After the introduction, early chapters present models with endogenous qualitative variables, examining dichotomous models, model specification, estimation methods, descriptive usage, and qualitative panel data. Professor Gourieroux also looks at Tobit models, in which the exogenous variable is sometimes qualitative and sometimes quantitative, and changing-regime models, in which the dependent variable is qualitative but expressed in quantitative terms. The final two chapters describe models which explain variables assumed by discrete or continuous positive variables.

This is the first fully comprehensive textbook to integrate traditional and modern time series econometric modelling. The mathematical rigour of the book is high but excessive technicalities have been avoided. The coverage represents a major reference tool for graduate students, researchers and applied economists.
