WHAT IS ECONOMETRICS?
Literally interpreted, econometrics means “economic measurement.” Although
measurement is an important part of econometrics, the scope of
econometrics is much broader, as can be seen from the following quotations:
Econometrics, the result of a certain outlook on the role of economics, consists of
the application of mathematical statistics to economic data to lend empirical support
to the models constructed by mathematical economics and to obtain
numerical results.1
. . . econometrics may be defined as the quantitative analysis of actual economic
phenomena based on the concurrent development of theory and observation, related
by appropriate methods of inference.2
Econometrics may be defined as the social science in which the tools of economic
theory, mathematics, and statistical inference are applied to the analysis of economic
phenomena.3
Econometrics is concerned with the empirical determination of economic
laws.4
