Ragnar Frisch (1895-1973) received the first Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science together with Jan Tinbergen in 1969 for having played an important role in ensuring that mathematical techniques figure prominently in modern economic analysis. This collection explores his contributions to econometrics and other key fields in the discipline as well as the results of new research.

These essays by Clive W. J. Granger span more than four decades and cover major topics in spectral analysis, seasonality, nonlinearity, methodology, and forecasting. The introduction by Eric Gysels, Norman R. Swanson and Mark W. Watson places the essays in context and demonstrates their enduring value.

Advances in Econometrics: Fifth World Congress, Volume II, edited by Professor Truman F. Bewley of Yale University, includes a wide variety of topics, comprising empirical and policy oriented subjects as well as theoretical and methodological ones.

This study, first published in 2006, asks whether democracy, modeled as competition between political parties that represent different interests in the polity, will result in educational funding policies that will, at least eventually, produce citizens who have equal capacities (human capital), thus breaking the link between family background and child prospects.

In this book Andreu Mas-Colell brings together work on economic theory written over the last twenty years, based upon his pioneering work in the use of differential topology in the analysis of general equilibrium. The analysis is presented in a way which makes it accessible to the broader range of economic theorists and advanced students.

This first volume contains papers focusing on econometrics that were delivered at the Fifth World Congress, held in 1985. Designed to make material accessible to a general audience of economists, these papers should be helpful to anyone with training in economics who wishes to follow new ideas and tendencies in the subject.

These twenty papers were selected by the author. The book includes a major introduction by Werner Hildenbrand, who assesses Professor Debreu's contribution to economic theory and explains the part played by these papers in the development of the subject.

This is the first of a two-volume set of articles reflecting the current state of research in theoretical and applied econometrics. The topics covered include time series methods, semiparametric methods, seasonality, financial economics, model solution techniques, economic development, and labour economics.

This book addresses one of the major theoretical issues that underlies, implicitly or explicitly, some recurrent controversies in macroeconomics - namely, whether a competitive monetary economy has built-in mechanisms that are strong enough to remove excess demands and supplies on all markets, through an automatic adjustment of the price system.
