The intended purpose of the various papers and hence of the book, has been stated by the editor as follows: 'The central idea underlying the methods developed in this book is that, since the variables that occur in most econometric models are the result of a large number of microeconomic decisions taken at different points of time, the prior restrictions [due to the theory] should be placed directly on the parameters of a continuous system, even though the variables are observed only at discrete intervals. The purpose of the book is to provide a body of statistical theory relating to the identification and estimation of the parameters of such models from discrete observations of the variables" ER -
