Editorial Reviews
Review
'The book is so obviously valuable ... Historians of the discipline of economics will have to read and often refer to this book, which is remarkably well written and documented.' Professor Edmond Malinvaud, The Economic Journal
'Mary Morgan has written a fascinating and readable account of the development of econometrics, free of technicality and offering a whole agenda of questions for other scholars. [It] will be a major reference work; it is also much more than that, offering a most valuable historical and interdisciplinary perspective on one of the most important developments in economics ... a splendid piece of work.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'Dr Morgan is to be congratulated for presenting us with a memorable and tasty dinner of econometric ideas.' Professor Arnold Zellner, Journal of Political Economy

Book Description
The History of Econometric Ideas covers the period from the late nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century, illustrating how economists first learned to harness statistical methods to measure and test the "laws" of economics. Though scholarly, Dr. Morgan's book is very accessible; it does not require a high level of prior statistical knowledge, and will be of interest to practicing statisticians and economists.
