It introduces the long-run structural approach to modelling that can be readily adopted for use in understanding how economies work, and in generating forecasts for decision-and policy-makers. The book contains a thorough description of recent developments in macroeconomics and econometrics, which should be of interest to advanced students and researchers, but is also written to be accessible and helpful to practitioners in government and the private sector. The transparency and pragmatism of the modelling approach used within this book will be attractive to practitioners who need manageable and interpretable models to answer specific questions UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0636/2006010285-t.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0723/2006010285-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0723/2006010285-b.html ER -
