‘This book contains a wealth of information, and will be very valuable to anyone who is interested in knowing how macroeoconometric models developed and how they have been used.’
– Journal of the History of Economic Thought
‘This book will long be valued by macroeconomic model-builders as an indispensable reference source on the development of their craft. It eloquently and thoroughly testifies to the dramatic progress that has taken place over the last fifty years.’
– Patrick Grady, Canadian Journal of Economics
This major book presents, for the first time, an authoritative history of developments in macroeconometric modelling since the 1930s. It focuses in particular on the construction of mathematico-statistical models of entire economies, estimated from national accounts and other macroeconomic data. International and comparative in scope, the book contains chapters prepared by specialists from the different countries concerned.
This landmark book is indispensable to an understanding of the history and development of large scale econometric models of modern economies.
