Methodology of econometrics

The methodology of econometrics is the study of the range of differing approaches to undertaking econometric analysis.^[1]

Commonly distinguished differing approaches that have been identified and studied include:

• the Cowles Commission approach^[2]
• the Vector autoregression approach^[3]
• the LSE approach - originated with Denis Sargan now associated with David Hendry (and his general-to-specific modeling). Also associate with work on integrated and cointegrated systems originating ( Engle and Granger) and (Johansen and Juselius at the University of Copenhagen) (Juselius 1999)
• the use of calibration - Finn Kydland and Edward Prescott^[4]

In addition to these clearly defined approaches, Hoover^[5] identifies a range of heterogeneous or textbook approaches that those less, or even un-, concerned with methodology, tend to follow.
