  • 1 Thirty-Five Years of Journal of Econometrics Takeshi Amemiya
    1 Thirty-Five Years of Journal of Econometrics Takeshi Amemiya1 I. Introduction I am pleased to announce that Elsevier has agreed to sponsor the Amemiya lecture series for the Journal of Econometrics to promote econometrics research in developing countries. It is my honor to give the first lecture of the series. This idea was proposed by Cheng Hsiao, who believes that despite the tremendous advancement of econometric methodology in the last two or three decades, it does not seem to have had much impact on scholars in the third world countries. At the same time, the research interests of scholars in the third world countries, which naturally reflect their unique situation, have not attracted the attention of scholars in developed countries. This makes the submissions from developing countries difficult to go through the refereeing process of the Journal. There is, however, tremendous interest in the subject and scholars and students in the developing countries are eager to learn. For example, when Yongmiao Hong, associate editor of the Journal, organized a summer econometrics workshop in 2006 in Xiamen, China, with the sponsorship of the Journal of Econometrics, Chinese Ministry of Education, and Chinese Academy of Sciences, it attracted 610 applicants, although in the end only 230 were allowed to enroll due to space constraints. We hope that through this lecture series, we can enhance the interactions between scholars in the third world countries and scholars in the developed countries. See Table A, which classifies published articles according to the countries in which the authors resided during 1981- 1999, and Table B, the same data during 2000-2007.

The various ISI RAM that are calculated annually or updated daily are defined and analysed, including the classic 2-year impact factor (2YIF), 5-year impact factor (5YIF), Immediacy (or zero-year impact factor (0YIF)), Eigenfactor score, Article Influence, C3PO (Citation Performance Per Paper Online), h-index, Zinfluence, and PI-BETA (Papers Ignored - By Even The Authors). The ISI RAM data are analysed for 8 leading econometrics journals and 4 leading statistics journals. The application to econometrics can be used as a template for other areas in economics, for other scientific disciplines, and as a benchmark for newer journals in a range of disciplines.

The structure of the course consists of three parts: the first one introduces empirical likelihood, the second one presents new inference tools in models with dependent and heterogeneous data, and the third one presents tools for empirical analysis in randomized controlled experiments. Grading: There will be no exams in this class. Grading will consist on weakly reports (submitted via Blackboard), three problem sets (with due dates TBD, submitted via Black- board, and typed in LATEX) and a topic presentation (on one of the topics of marked with a star in the Course Outline). Weakly reports should avoid displays and formulas and be limited to a maximum of two pages. For the topic presentation you must prepare lecture notes (in LATEX, maximum 8 pages, and in a similar format of my lecture notes) and a slide presentation. The weighting scheme for the final grade will be: Weakly Reports: 20% Problem Sets: 30% Topic Presentation: 50% Lecture Notes: I will provide lecture notes every week with related references you are supposed to read.

  • Econometrics ELSEVIER Journal of Econometrics 67 (1995) 5-24
    JOURNALOF Econometrics ELSEVIER Journal of Econometrics 67 (1995) 5-24 On tests and significance in econometrics Hugo A. Keuzenkamp**a, Jan R. Magnusb3c aDepartment of‘Economics, Tilburg University, 5000 LE Tilburg, The Netherlands bLondon School ofEeonomics, London, UK ’ CentER for Economic Research, Tilburg University, 5000 LE Tilburg, The Netherlands Abstract Different aims of testing are investigated: theory testing, validity testing, simplification testing, and decision making. Different testing methodologies may serve these aims. In particular, the approaches of Fisher and Neyman-Pearson are considered. We discuss the meaning of statistical significance. Significance tests in the Journal of Econometrics are evaluated. The paper concludes with a challenge to ascertain the impact of statistical testing on economic thought. Key words: Statistical tests; Inference; Significance level JEL classification: B23; B40; Cl2 1. Introduction In a provocative paper, McCloskey (1985, p. 182) contends that ‘no proposi- tion about economic behaviour has yet been overturned by econometrics’. McCloskey is not a lonely skeptic. Many outsiders are doubtful of the value added of econometric testing (e.g., Hahn, 1992). But also many econometricians are increasingly worried about the credibility gap between econometric theory and applied economics (for example, Spanos, 1986, p. 660). Whether the skeptics are right or wrong, we must face the question: What is the significance of testing econometric hypotheses? * Corresponding author. We are grateful to Michael McAleer and Mark Steel for their helpful suggestions. 0304~4076/95/%09.50 0 1995 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved SSDI 030440769401624 9 6 H.A. Keuzenkamp, J.R.
