This volume is presented by Ullah (U. of California at Riverside, US) and Giles (U. of Victoria, Canada) in order to take stock of recent developments in methods and applications of empirical
economics and finance. The 16 contributions are presented in sections dealing with statistical issues in the analysis of econometric models built on the cross-sectional data often arising in
microeconomics, time-series models found in empirical macroeconomics and finance, and types of panel data (time-series of cross-sections) and spatial models for analyzing complex economic
behavior and policy evaluations. The emphasis of the volume is on the inferential issues that arise in the analysis of empirical models in economics and finance and in related disciplines.
