These attempts have reoriented the focus of econometric research from internal questions (how to optimally estimate a priori given structural parameters) to external questions (how to choose, design, and specify models). Next, it examines various modelling issues and problems through two case studies – modelling the Phillips curve and business cycles. The third part of the book delves into the development of three key aspects of model specification in details – structural parameters, error terms, and model selection and design procedures. The final chapter uses citation analyses to study the impact of the CC paradigm over the span of three and half decades (1970-2005).
