N2  - Offers systematic and theoretically sound way of accounting for inaccuracies. It bridges econometrics and the philosophy of economics - two topics that seem worlds apart. This book shows that an econometrician with the proper understanding of economic theory and the right kind of questions can gain knowledge about characteristic features of the social world. It addresses varied topics in both classical and Bayesian econometrics, offering ample evidence that its answer to the fundamental question is sound.
