4. ECONOMETRIC MODELS

The models discussed in this part have features in common with the non-economic empirically oriented models of Part 2, and with the monocentric simulation models of part 1. With the former they share a committment to actual data from which model equations are to be estimated. With the latter they share a committment to microeconomics from which model equations are theoretically derived. At the same time, these econometric models go beyond the other model groups in a number of ways. First, there is the use of econometric techniques to estimate the models’ equations. As a result the availability of data and its aggregation play an important role in determining the models’ specification. Second, these models have been developed ...
